Interior door panels are letting loose and detaching from frame. Seems seems to be rather unsafe with the side airbags and all. Many forums online from Dodge Charger owners with same issue on all (4) doors.

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.

The vehicle is indicating that the airbag system needs to be serviced. The car is 3 years old with 34k miles. There are recalls on the 2011-2015 dodge chargers for the airbag system and the dealership (stealership) is telling me that they the repair is not covered.
