JUST FOUND ON MY 19 CHALLENGER

[Magnified]

This whole situation summed up in a nutshell.



You didn't miss that. No way. It cracked and fell off. Also, had tornado watches, hail, and beers... and my kids up at 2 a.m.

I agree, but I'm not sure the dealer will buy it unless you have a great relationship with them.

Cars never been wrecked, they can check the computer.

Maybe QC kicked it back at the factory and they just took a shortcut with bondo/foam and a paint can, hoping Stevie Wonder bought it...

It’s apparently not that uncommon to have a repair at the factory. When I had paint correction done on one of my Demons the technician told me he could tell there was a repair done in a small area. I really didn’t believe him. Then I took it to another place for the clear wrap. They told me the same thing. If two different places told me the same thing I now have no doubt. It was high up on the quarter panel near transition to the trunk lid. I didn’t notice anything at all, but the experts could tell from a small tape line on the trunk weather strip where it was resprayed.

I worked at the Lordstown, Ohio plant on the van line and my gravy job was touch up of the painted bumpers.But next to me were the masters of repair, guys that could make dents and dings disappear.These guys were artisans in making flaws disappear.Not sure that hood repair was done at the factory. Looks like a dealer quick fix.

Bondo is hard. Sealer is soft. Which is it?

Update:
Went to dealer who took pictures.
Stated that they have to wait till May 1st to send in for viewing (due to COVID-19).
Should have some type of feedback by end of 1st week of May.

WTF!? FCA not taking email till 5/1 ??

Yep.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Makes no sense to me. They could still send it, and get in line early.
It's not like an email goes bad if it sits unread for a few weeks.

Trust me, I have maybe 10,000 of them, and they refuse to go away.

 

[ACMAVRO]

I think they're gonna take care of it. Pretty good folks over there.

Very strange. I received a call last week from Dodge Customer Cares asking me when I wanted to bring my Demons in for the hood scoop insert replacement.

The guys who programmed the launch control are in charge of the corporate e-mail system.

Hope so.

Hope so.

looks like an air bubble in the seam sealer popped open, maybe from heat. I would think sealer is done by a robot.

[oilburner]

you could be right, could of been the dumbass that set up the robot.

 

[ACMAVRO]

Hope so.

Gotta think positive. I don’t think they did it, that car has barely ever been there and even if they did, they would send it to Lance over at George’s and he does an excellent job. I’m thinking they’ll fix it under warranty and in which case you’ll get a new hood or they’ll still send it to Lance. No worries🤞

 

[Demon1]

I honestly think it was a factory deal.
