It's a challenger, not a charger. You have 4 doors and the additional frame stability that comes with that. He describes all challengers here, and mine is far from a lemon.
@@ned_frankly what about the navigation ? Mine is instant. Non functioning intake hood scoops or headlight snorkel ? Real functioning scoop on Charger and grille intake.
I will NEVER UNDERSTAND why companies make fake vents. It's a net negative in literally every single way possible. More complex and expensive to make. Negative effect on public opinion. And does literally nothing to improve the vehicle and only takes away from performance.
Literally never had any of those problems with my RT except the tail light divider. I took off the dodge emblem and put a cover on. And the vents help keep the engine bay cool. That's why you have the air intake on the driver side to keep the engine itself cool. Guy doesnt even know what he's talking about.
My guy, some of those vents are fake, otherwise known as non-functional. He's not wrong. I'm sure you can post your Hellcat to refute these claims, yes?
An RT is not a muscle car and doesn't have the cooling problems a scat or hellcat has. Add a shaker and it's actually worse because of how they routed it. Mine is a 3 pedal shaker scatpack, and I had to add the hellcat headlight intake tube myself. They didn't do everything they could do. And this guy is just pointing it out.
I really don't understand why so many people struggle with the door handle. It's not rocket science to figure out how to correctly use it. Yes, I have a '22 Challenger so I know from experience.
The black part gets scratched if you’re not careful with it. Just like any black car, you can’t be touching it a lot with your hands. If you pop the trunk or press the button, you lift from the underneath, not grab the whole thing. The corrosion is from where you live.. highly doubt they’re not salting where you are. It’s bound to happen with most cars. I lived in New England… so yes it’s gonna happen. After no longer living there, no corrosion on vehicles. The ventilations on the passenger side can be added if you decide to do a dual intake set up.. there’s already an intake setup to the driver side, adding another on the passenger may be over doing it.
If you want to avoid the corrosion around your hood latch, take it off put some RVT sealant, preferably gray face seal it stick it back on tape off the edges before you do stick it back on and then you can peel up the excess squeeze out and that corrosion will stop. That’s how we do it in aviation. It’s caused from dissimilar metals that react with each other under heat or be next to each other for a long period of time.
A car worth that much shouldn't have fake vents and insanely corrosive latches like that. My 30 year old Audi doesn't have that much corrosion and my plastics look brand new inside and out. They cheaped out everywhere besides the engine just like the STIs do, and they have luxury sticker prices.
With the door handle there is a little silicon thing on the side, you can take it out and there should be a hex bolt or something like that you can tighten it and it will fix the latch unless you just got a messed up spring or sum?
This is 💯 why so many foreign car manufacturers laugh at not just American automobile companies, American businesses in general of ANY industry. American quality, service, projection aka thinking ahead, objective reasoning, service, maintenance, and reliability the vast majority of the time are *MEDIOCRE.* The only reason why the problems he described exist is because American corporate and employee attitudes only want to do the bare minimum to make a profit.
Actually there is a vent in both headlights. I think starting in 2020 theres a little screw that you need to remove from the side of it and then it just pops out. Thats how my 2020 scatpack was when i did the hellcat lower airbox install
Only thing I hate about my hellcat is that it doesn’t exist
