Chrysler/|Dodge 300's/Charger have a known issue with door panel warping because of material or design defect. A judged rule 08/26/21 that there is an expressed warranty and that they should be repaired outside of the manufacture's warranty, which is when the defect shows up. I have tried both the dealership and customer care Auburn Hills, Michigan to no avail. I am stuck with making the very costly repair myself on a vehicle that I can't sell for what should be its value without the defect showing. I am a disable veteran and a senior so neither of those prospect are appealing. What can I do to get the dealer to fix the defect in light of the judge's ruling or other consumer protection laws? I need to get a replacement vehicle and can't get a reasonable return on this investment with the defect. Please help me.

In a couple year span of dodge chargers, the panels on the doors separate from the plastic underneath causing it to lift up where the window goes into the door. On mine specifically it's the drivers side panel and the front passenger side panel. I have seen pictures on forums for dodge chargers where it's all of the doors with this issue. This is caused by no fault of the owner but clearly somewhere in the manufacturing of the vehicle either parts or materials weren't made properly. The cost to fix this on my own is around $700 per door panel, so $1,400 for both.
I was headed to work yesterday morning and before I got to work I heard a loud noice under the hood and smoke starting rolling out of under the hood. I pulled over to the closest intersection to get off highway and discovered oil all over the car and all under the car. I contacted my dealership that I just bought the car through (haven't even made the first payment) and they towed it back to the dealership. Further inspection they said the design of the car how it pulls air through the fender it sucked water up from driving down the highway and hydro locked the motor. I do zero first roads on my vehicles so it's definitely not right for this to happen driving down a highway and throw a rod through the motor. My extended warranty won't cover it nor will my insurance. It's a brand new car. I need help!!

There is a popping or cracking structural defect sound that is coming from the driver's side door or pillar between front and rear door. This is while driving normally not really on bumps but when you are on just a regular road. More when the road is uneven or when the body has some twist from uneven pavement. The first ride was with with christian the service advisor at lums driving the vehicle and heard the sound. He made the first appointment to look at it. 7/8/19 vehicle still under full warranty. Lums auto center in warrenton or, tried to do a blind repair by replacing the seatbelt tensioner. It did seem to calm it down but did not work and we have taken it back, a second time and they have stated they could not duplicate the sound. But they did open the door and checked it. 11/1/19 and yet again we are going to take it back again after christian the same service advisor that we have been working with drove with me and heard the sound again. 01/3/20 now the full warranty is over. The problem comes and goes and he states that it will be hard to find?? We do not believe that they are capable of fixing what really seems to be a structural problem...
