2019 Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320, Clearcoat Issue (Not Impressed):
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2019
- After 5 months of waiting since we ordered the car and finally receiving our 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320, I am EXTREMELY disappointed. Of course here at Mopainsiders we want to be completely transparent which is why we are bringing you this video today.
While detailing the car earlier this week I noticed some serious clear coat defects on all the wheel wells, of course, this is very disappointing on a brand new car. My main concern is that the clear coat will start chipping away from these areas leading to clear coat failure on the entire car. We will be booking the car into the dealer to get looked at this week and will keep you guys updated on how everything plays out with our 2019 Challenger 1320.

It seems as though a lot of people are missing the point of the video. The first 2 defects aren't a big deal and I even said in the video that they're small and I don't even care about them. The main issue is the paint drips hanging down below the rockers and bubbling clear coat in the wheel wells which is inexcusable. Also, we are obviously Mopar fans, since we are of course a Mopar dedicated website. We didn't make a video just to whine and complain. This car is was bought as our long term test vehicle, as part of having integrity and being transparent, that means we cover the information for everyone both good and bad.
After watching your video I went out and checked my new 18 Scat pack challenger, I have the exact same thing but only on the rear driver side. Literally looks just like yours, so this is not an isolated issue. I am going to take it to the dealer this week, but I will be following what happens with you also.
Any word from Dodge ? I am taking mine in on Tuesday for the same issue
Something definitely happened to that car after built..I just went out to check my 2018 R/T challenger... and nothing like that.. your car has been repainted for what ever reason.. i would remove an interior piece of trim to see if anything else is werey some dealers have been sued for putting damage new cars on there lot. Due to damage on there lot.. but fix it in the back with the window sticker on.. its sad.. I would have rejected delivery of that car!!
U got bigger problems pointed out by me. Go look again under your driver side wheel, all your suspension is rusting out badly, u need to get all your suspension replaced, Chrysler will warranty rusted suspension pieces, especially yours.

Can you take a picture of if and send it in
So the disappointing aspect of this video is the paint? Change the title, it seems that I was going to watch on how it was underperforming or rattling or interior was outdated or vibrating chassis. But paint?
Extremely disappointed with the paint ONLY! Waste of time.
Exactly..clickbait
U need to get your health together bud u breathing hard as hell
Kenneth Green cold asf
Most Dodge owners are mouth breathers.......
Austimo 3000 hey been smoking over 40 yrs so yeah us mopar guys huff n puff now xcuse me while i light up another one
superbee superbee Thanks for proving my point! Good luck with those two brain cells you have. Although, you’re lucky, you still have one more than most Dodge owners........
Austimo 3000 you know if i hate mustangs I don’t watch their videos. Unless your coming out of closet
I have a 2019 Challenger R/T built in March, delivered April 2019 andI am completely satisfied with everything including build quality. After viewing your video I again checked every inch of the exterior, including the fender lips and they are smooth and perfect. The paint is flawless and panel fit just as tight and smooth. I can’t imagine how yours missed the mark, but it seems to be an extreme exception. My son also has a 2019 Scat Pack Challengerthat exceeds his expectations. Just letting you know that this may be one that got away. I hope it is fixed to your satisfaction.
Glad to hear it. I'd definitely say this car is not the norm. Hopefully it all gets resolved with no issue, we will keep everyone updated.
I was the same way car was flawless until 2 years down the road when the problems started good luck
I would be disappointed as well. These cars aren't cheap and I would expect better a better finish from a brand new car.
I bought a mustang in 1989 that had paint runs and obvious problems from a quick fix body and paint job.
Never found out if it was from factory or the dealer.
Betting you have same issue.
It's definitely frustrating
Nevermind the upper front control arms already rusting! Lol
Jeez. After your second complaint I had enough. Good luck with your car. Hopefully you can eventually be happy with it if you can stop picking nits long enough to get out and drive it.
If you only watched till the second complaint then you don't know what the real problem is. I said on the first two that neither were a big deal that I was worried about, but it all adds up to whats after.
What about the rusty front upper control arms?
It’s a FIAT.
How sad! You don't expect a car of this quality and Price to be Having Issue's, especially Paint Issue's?! I'm A Mopar Dodge Girl my whole life,I have saw P.t Cruisers and Neons with the Clear coat Bubbling and Peeling ,but these cars were much older! I hope the Dealership stands behind you!!
that sucks man. i got my 2019 dodge challenger scactpack widebody b5 blue june 5th and i dont have any of these issues. seems that sometimes they drop the ball on manufacturing
Forgot to mention sometimes on hot days getting in the car and the radio screen won’t display for at least 5 minutes then it resets, sometimes it makes a loud buzzing sound for a couple minutes then reset. Sometimes it works without displaying anything just sound. So much for a beats system option.
as much as he paid for that car im not gonna lie as a car guy id be pretty upset.
Why'd he buy that car then??
I have the same paint drips on the sides of my 1320. Seems like them cutting corners and being sloppy. However, everything else on mine is fine. Sorry to hear about yours.
Personally I would see if Dodge would give me a cash adjustment and take care of paint myself. Would not want a dealer screwing with it. Good luck.
I feel ya on all that, I have noticed wax on my sunroof, every time I go over a slight beep I hear a quick squeaking sound inside the cabin drivers side, my breaks squeaked almost instantly, different dealer swapped out the front pads, rear pads started squeaking, my Bluetooth discounts from my phone from time to time (and no it’s not my phone).
Please give us a follow up video
An old man worked at a lumber yard in my town. One day I went in to find a certain trim piece for my parents' garage that got dinged. When the guy saw me agonizing over an exact match, he said, "A man on a galloping horse will never know the difference." You have a beautiful car; drive it like you stole it and forget about it.
Thanks for wasting my time. This is really nothing
Would a clear warp protection (full body) that runs about 3k -4 k stop that from becoming an issue?
I'm a retired body shop owner and, like you a big MOPAR fan. In 2000 I purchased a new Dakota, was at the dealership when the truck arrived on the transporter. Several years later my truck was struck in the rear bumper which caused minor damage to the box and back of cab. While doing the paint repair I decided to fix a small crack in the paint on each front fender. Big surprise, the crack was the result of both fenders being repainted at least 7 times which created a film thickness many times thicker than spec. In your case I question why so much of the car was repainted as well very concerned at the quality of the repair. If the car has to be repainted again that is at least 3 paint jobs. The repair on my truck was so good I didn't know it had been repainted and I'm pretty much an expert at spotting a repaint. If your car has to be repainted again that is at least 3 paint jobs.Not Good, it will eventually crack from excessive thickness as well as reduce the crispness of all lines and edges on the car. I suggest you find an experienced painter to inspect your car and advise you as you deal with Dodge. Best of luck, I love my Scat Pack and hope yours gives you as much joy as mine has given me.
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but is that left front tire mounted inside out?
The clear coat on my 2019 Ram 1500 classic has little bubbles on both fenders and the right fender had ta be replaced due to the sheet metal was warped. It was warrantied for paint also
Makes me wonder if they added a reducer to the paint.
mine has front end alignment problems, and clutch, the dealer isn't able to fix
Woooowwww!! That's unacceptable man. Great video
The more issues I see with these cars the less I want one. Too many unacceptable QC issues. I have no plans on having it at the dealer every other week because most people think that is NORMAL. It's not. Some of these issues I have seen are a joke and horrible QC and workmanship. Thanks for the video.
I was deciding between a Camaro SS or 1320 & that video helped make my decision, thanks....
Changed to 👍🏻, went to go buy a F8 1320, massive pealing on the driver front and tires had such bad flat spots from sitting it ox carted down the road. The search continues.
Completely overlooked the Nexen tires?
That sux man. I'm so proud of my Challenger if I saw that crappy paintwork on mine id be pissed. There made in Ontario Canada. My Honda civic was made there too so I assumed shitwork like this would have not made it off the assembly line. FCA needs to make that right. Keep us posted.
That stuff dripping below the rockers isn't paint. It's actually much worse. That's foam injected to fill in the rocker and quarter panel voids. Over time, it absorbs water and rusts out the rockers and quarters from the inside.
When I first clicked on the video I was thinking this guy's a hater but now the paint quality is sloppy I definitely agree with you.
Hmmmmmm.......Looks to me like some burn outs were done on loose asphalt which has chipped the paint. Odd that it's only around the wheel wells!
Even so... shouldn’t it not chip like that? I had an F150 on 35s spun tires on loose gravel all the time and never a chip on my wheel wells
My 2019 scatpack charger is doing the same thing on the driver side rear they did say it was happening a lot on the challengers but they said that it’s not supposed to happen on the chargers
what you are say are drips on rocker area are actually pieces of tape left over from paint process. my wife's 2016 scatpack came in with that too. I had to crawl under and remove. dealer prep missed them. I saw a brand new hellcat in 2016 on dealer lot had mirrors under edge and tape was left on it too. just bad dealer prep especially on a $71,000 car. I peeled one piece of and showed the owner of dealership, he was pissed at prep shop. I still have that piece of tape .
Why didn't you nit,pick it before you bought it.
People don't nitpick when making an emotional purchase like a muscle car. Hence, never get emotional about any large purchase!
You don't extect a factory ordered car to have body defects. Either way, warranty should fix this. It's a dodge, they've had shit paint since the 1930's. I'd be raising an eyebrow at the surface rust on those upper corntol arms.
I have worked at three car dealerships WereI was in charge of stocking new car inventory and looking for these problems this vehicle seems to Had been damaged in transport and repaired
I had similar issues with a 99 Dakota R/T. They were hard to find in a regular cab version when they first came out. The one I finally found had lots of trash in the paint, stamping flaws in the hood, flaws in the powdercoated wheels. I complained that these combined issues were not acceptable. Fortunately the regional rep agreed, they took the truck back and let me order a new one. I would NEVER accept a brand new car to be refinished, MAKE THEM REPLACE IT!!!!!!!!
Be sure to follow through with contacting FCA & have them repair or repaint the car
That’s suck, it look so beautiful
Good luck with FCA my motor had bad lifters dealerships put new ones on last September had it for a month but blew my motor up it took FCA 9 months to replace my motor got it back about 2 months ago but it has been in the shop 4 other times and one was the trans they rebuilt it took 2 weeks and now as of today it’s back in the shop because the main fly wheel from the motor brook off so now the dealership has it again and I have a 2015 scat pack so good luck
I'm more disappointed about just having a 15hp gain in years
RO G 🎯Exactly. Especially disappointed in the fact that they wouldn’t at least give the 1320 a bump in power over the non 1320 392’s
Do you plan on doing anything for the rust you have on the upper control arms of your vehicle? I saw it when you did the close up of the left front wheel well.
Since those parts are made of cast iron im not too concerned about it as they will always surface rust over any exposure to the elements. Yeah it doesn't look great but it's not really a problem.
@@MoparInsiders Agreed it is not the end of the world. I purchased a 2019 Challenger Scatpack Widebody back in Feb. and had to deal with it.
At first with the window paint I was kinda digging it as old mopars had bad over spray lil patina issues and I thought that could make your car unique, but further you went, the more I retract that thought. Eeeesh.
The inspection guy must have had a good weekend lol
My 2015 Challenger R/T shaker B5 blue car is great after 4 years no problems with anything .People love the style and B5 blue color
Nothing minor to a car guy. Thanks for this upload
Sorry to see this. If they repaint it, you can almost bet it won't be as good as a factory job and the repaint will be spotted on a trade and the car will certainly be devalued. Better to see if a wet sand will solve the problem. Or, get a lawyer to help you get them to take the car back and exchange it for a different car.
We definitely have some concerns with a repaint for sure if that's the route they want to go. For now we are just going to wait and see how it shakes out.
Take it back...I've owned 3 challengers 2015 Rt/2016 SRT392/& 2017 scatpack and I never had a problem...simply take it back
Craig Griffin probably wanted something newer, I wouldn’t upgrade myself
I would be disappointed too but sometimes one slips through.. give the dealer a chance to make it right doesn’t help with all of the inconvenience and bs you will have to go through but if you love the car it will pass.
I agree with the rust in control arm 📸
Have you guys seen this problem in Chargers as well?
Has your car been l lowered? If so, what springs did you use, its looks great . Picking up a widebody scat soon
Completely stock
And you forgot the most important critique on a 45k car. Why was the 1320 Bee not stitched on the front seats?? Thats totally absurd. You get the Scat Pack Bee on the front seats on the Regular Scat Pack but cant spend 50.00 on this 1320. You basically get SXT seats with no logo of any sort
Them are stone hits, the tires are as wide as the flares, you own it, go look at another new one, that has very low miles like 5.
And u didn't notice that when you bought it
First off thank you for pointing out flaws. I'm not saying in any way that Dodge has bad products. I bought a charger in 2010 and the front clip did not line up with the rest of the body line. I took it back to the dealer they told me to get a hold of Dodge. They won't do anything about it. A few weeks later I get an application for a dodge credit card. Just a heads up the MDS will cause problems. I tore my 5.2 down and removed them and plugged them. Dodge PLEASE just give us OLD SCHOOL!!!
That's weird, I am thinking your car had issues in the paint shop during its build and had to have significant work re-done after the fact. The plants employ a team of guys to fix paint screw ups. Also it shouldn't need a full re-paint, just sand and blow-in the areas under the fenders and rear 1/4's.
Love my 18 scat pack!
And the worst of all is when you're proudly showing off your car to a friend and they point out a flaw you didn't see🧐
I have a 2013 same thing happen to my car with the clear coat
Yeah anybody would have nit picked it apart before they bought it. In fact I just looked at one last week that had a few dings in it who knows from what. The issue is though I would definitely not buy that vehicle because it had dents in it no matter where that came from. It's a 2019 just like you are showing here. I tend to look underneath vehicles a lot and in the wheel wells, inside the door xcetera. Yeah you would have looked it over carefully like I certainly do every vehicle I buy. Expectation is a great thing and I am a die-hard Mopar guy also. If I had found this stuff on one I bought I would be right back to the dealer having it fixed or sort it out. Some people would prefer to just deal with it on their own. Not really a big issue
I have to ask if you've got all these problems with this car why didn't you see all these flaws at the dealership ?????? When you bought the car???? Just a question
I typically don't get on my hands and knees and look at the wheel wells or underneath a car on delivery. Guess it bit me this time. I noticed the small chip in the front bumper as soon as I got it home to wash it and the blue paint on the door glass pretty much right away but those are both extremely minor and didn't bother me. It's when you start adding everything up together like the paint drips, paint mark on the glass and clearcoat bubbling that it starts to become an issue and is evidence that some sloppy repaint has been done.
Dude, that car was repainted by the dealership probably due to shipping damage. Those are NOT factory paint quality issues. Require a buy-back ASAP!
I'm thinking the same. Something fishy is going on here.
No way would they be repainting my new car, they would be taking that one back and they would get another chance at building me another etc till they get it corrected, that rusty upper ball joint and control arms wouldn't get it with me either !!!
My 1320 paint is great , not one single bad spot ..
I take care of my paint on all my cars it's very important to me and this would drive me nuts.. then again I would of never picked it up with out fully inspecting it.. but hey buddy good luck and hopefully they will take care of it for you.
Thanks!
That sux keep us posted on the process
Did you notice the rust on the driver side front suspension components? Aside from the paint issues this rust issue is not the first time I've seen this. There as been other videos with Challengers having this problem. I don't care what anyone says, that is not normal and should not be acceptable. I also wonder if these problems are also happening on Challengers and Chargers heading for the Canadian market?
Yikes I’ve had bad door panels bubbling all 4, rust under paint U connect radio screen bubbling drive shaft clunk witch they say is normal. My advice when buying one of these FCA products inspect the car before signing paper work don’t get too exited about the car itself. When the merger with fiat was finalized dodge quality witch was never good got worst.
Can you do something about this? Discount or send it for repairs?
Getting it scheduled to be looked at. From what I've found it's likely the whole car will need to be repainted so we will see how it goes.
This is a very common issue with the Challenger clear coats the dealer is supposed to fix it before delivery
With most factors going robotic on painting it's no suprise on the paint quality. The only good way to paint a car with out an actual painter is to dip the whole car.
Was this new or used?
Totally understanding of the complaints however being man maid there's always room for mistakes. All issues are addressable with the dealer show them the proof and get it fixed that simple. Then get back to slapping 5.0's and SS.
100% not a factory paint job, fit and finish too (see where hood, driver fender and front bumper meet)...either crashed or hail damage, more likely crashed...take it back and insist on a replacement, this is unacceptable by any standard. Also why is it wearing Nexen rubber?
Bad deal on the paint, that sucks I drive a 2018 392 Daytona great paint job on mine, I would be pissed off to dude.
I am not sure those issues happened at the factory. They really do appear to have been repairs of some sort. With the robotic paint jobs, the drips and some of the chips would not have happened. Also, the windows would not have paint on them, due to the time frame that they are installed. That is wet paint on the door jam.. As someone who deals in concourse restored vehicles, I would say this screams of repairs
return it to the agency!!, I have a scat pack shaker 392 2016 but it has no details of any kind
i work at brampton assembly, i likely put your rear seat cushion in (hope thats ok!)
ive legit bitched about those clear coat bubbles a hundred times, no one does anything, just blame the age of paintshop, its shameful. Mind you, we are in desperate need for a new paintshop, but still no excuse
If anyone in here has paint and body experience I am definitely interested to hear your thoughts...
Mopar Insiders I had those paint drips by the rockers on my Demon... but nothing else like you have.
If its just clear bubbling I would suggest light water sand and buff. I know its on the fender edge lip but I would not repaint the entire vehicle as aftermart paint will scratch easier.
I had rust on our 2015 Durango and the hood scratches very easy.
On my 2019 Wide body Scat I have paint sages and a few pre touch ups. All i did was add ceramic coat and close my eyes when detailing.
@@ScatPack-lj3mr I had considered doing a wet sand on them as you mentioned but what is worrying me about doing that is that I can see where it's already cracking in some spots and has what looks to be air bubbles in others. I'm a little concerned with trying to level it out and ending up with no clear coat in a few of those spots.
@@MoparInsiders ya I see your point. Maybe force the dealer to try first prior to painting
Hope it works out for you.
Luv the 1320.
Keep the content coming .
@@ScatPack-lj3mr We will for sure, we've got big plans for this car so expect to see a lot more of it. :)
Have you contacted the Dealership first?
Dealer knows, just waiting to get it in and looked at.
the tires are going to mess up the paint because they stick out so far
This is why China/Japan/Korea are doing well in their industry, they don’t make many quality control errors and the US car making has really gone downhill badly. I used to have one but it was way too thirsty on fuel and didn’t last as long as i hoped
The title doesn't help to watch the video when the description details about a paint job complaint, lol wtf!
I'm afraid that with those sticky radials you are going to chip the paint in the wheel wells eventually anyway. I had a dealer redo my wheel wells before taking delivery of my 1980 Firebird Formula. In just 2 years later they were chipped again. Stay off gravel roads.
You should see the hood on my 70k Ram limited I'm living with it b/c I refuse to repaint the whole hood.
Wrap it.
Wee Man I already have a half clear wrap spent 2400.00 dollars for the ceramic coating and the wrap together only b/c the truck is black so thats a wrap (pun intended) on how much I’ll spend on a truck that I probably will only keep a few years this is my 5th truck I’ve owned 3 Rams and two toyota Tundras thanks for the advice though.
Looks to me like you brought a car that was already in a accident...I would go back to the dealer since they have to disclose any damage if claiming it’s a new car or go to body shop and have them inspected it
i don't get why every one has their tits in an uproar. the video says he was disappointed and any one of you would be as well if your new car had these issues. ppl who are complaining about this video need to be put to sleep.
The blue paint on the window was probably from some touch up at the dealership, the bubbling clear coat they will say from you driving the car.
Dealership didn't touch up anything I was there within 10 minutes of the car being unloaded from an enclosed trailer. As for the bubbling they can try to say that, and that would be hilarious.
@@MoparInsiders maybe they had to do some touch up at the assembly plant, and the bubbling is probably bad prep before paint.
@@mikem3906 That is exactly my guess.
That car is WAY too expensive to be painted so poorly. There is no way to fix it. Repainting a new car destroys its value. I looked at a Scat Pack Widebody today and it had bubbles in the paint too.
What does 1320 stand for?
Quarter mile is 1320 feet.
ACobra289 Thanks
Wait until the cam and lifters fail like it did on mine and others.
As soon as he said, "What's going on guys", I turned it off. lol
go watch pornhub
It goes par with the course ... When you do burnouts
Did you contact FCA OR SRT YET ?!
We are scheduling an appointment this week at the dealer to get the car looked at and will also be calling FCA customer care this week as well. We will update everyone along the way.
@@Spunky-iq8jm Possibly, it depends on whether the car will be in the shop or not at that time, I've also stopped driving it now that I've found this issue but I will likely bring it out for Friday.
Watch out...he has the "let me see your manager" beard and sculpted hair cut. LMFAO
It looks to me this car was reworked after it left the factory!
How about that driver side upper control arm! Lol
You bought a crashed car nothing more, the paint is from Dealer shop , i seen brand new Trans ams that were wrecked way back go trade it in and See a doctor about your Heart You are Gasping for air
