2017 Dodge Charger Body & Structure Problems

Your front door panels (both driver and passenger sides) are separating from the door frames, which is causing the door locks to malfunction and the doors won't stay properly secured. This problem started during your second year of ownership and has been getting worse over time. The fix will likely involve having a technician reattach or replace the door panel components and inspect the locking mechanism hardware.

You noticed that three of your interior door panels have separated from the window frames while your car was parked. The dealer told you the sun melted the seams holding them together. Unfortunately, your vehicle is not under warranty, so the manufacturer won't cover the repair.

My car is a 2017 Dodge Charger...Passenger side door panel is warp baddly...Driver minimal...notice it beginning June 2020...Warranty expire before it develop.

Door panel is peeling off. It’s look like poor manufacturing quality.

interior door panel is separating from the door its self where the door and the panel meets at the top where the window is. This was first noticed on the front passenger door about 3 years ago and is now on all of the doors to some extent. This is causing an opening and gap where fingers could get caught or foreign objects could enter the interior of the door causing possible failure or malfunction of either or both of the doors or windows. This was addressed with the dealer who tried to say it was temperature related (as this is in the south west) and not covered under the extended warranty however, I have seen many posts from all over the country where several years and makes of dodge vehicles have similar issues.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while entering the vehicle, she noticed that the door panels were detaching from the door frame. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the door panels needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed by the dealer that approval was needed from the manufacturer to service the vehicle. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER OURCHASING NEW 2017 DODGE CHARGER RT THE DOOR PANELS ON ALL 4 DOORS STARTED TO BOW AND SEPARATE FROM THE PANEL

THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ON ALL FOUR DOORS ARE LIFTING OFF AND PEELING AWAY FROM THE DOORS. THE PANELS ARE PEELING MORE AND MORE EVERY WEEK. EVENTUALLY, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE PANELS WILL COMPLETELY COME OFF AND EXPOSE THE INNER DOORS.

ALL FOUR DOOR PANELS ON MY 2017 DODGE CHARGER ARE LIFTED FROM THE DOOR. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE.

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FABRICATION IN ALL THE HOODS OF THE DODGE CHARGERS THAT CAUSES THE HOOD LATCH PIN TO CORRODE. MY CHARGER IS BRAND NEW AND HAS CORROSION ON THE HOOD. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. LET UNCHECKED, THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF THE HOOD CORRODES ENOUGH TO WHERE THE LATCH PIN BECOME DETACHED FROM THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING.
