My scat doesnt tell me to brake, it knows who its daddy is.🤣🤣🤣
💀🤣
😲😲😲🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Haha 😂😂
I’ve had mine since April 2018. Can’t think of anything I “ hate “. I’ve wanted one since the seventies and it was on my bucket list. Before I spent 43 K, I made sure it was the best I ordered the wait was worth it.
yessir i agree. just got my 2020 50th anniversary scatpack 3 weeks ago just put 1,000 on it today
@@ThePlutoArmy nice. How is it?
@@GoetzeLP this car actually got crashed. i now have a widebody t/a. best car ever
@@GoetzeLP put nearly 20,000 miles on it since 8/13/21
The brake squeak is what you're worried about when trying to be quiet in your 392? lol
He's a Mercedes kind of guy.
Good video bro. No car is perfect. There will always be a few things that could be better, even when you love the car.
Great video. Somethings I never heard about but I can see your point on a lot of your issues with the car.
“It’s not like I’m wearing armor” 😂 Awesome!!!
I wish the small storage net on the right side of the console was slightly larger, it would make a great phone holder, it's just too small. On the other hand my heated/vented seats work great.
Joeysixtysix Proclip phone holder is amazing
Interesting list of items. I am in the market for a Scat Pack or SRT. Good to hear more about these items that easily get overlooked when car shopping.
loose change and phone will be a prob in challengers. It's also very hard to retrieve fallen items from between the seats while driving. Buy dropped item.retainer.. Not sure if that's the name ? Basically a extra storage space that fits between each seat. There's some really nice ones on eBay that matches the trim well and can include a coin bank or extra cup holder
Same thing happened to me with the forward collision warning, and mine actually slammed on the brakes and almost got me hit from behind. There is a setting to turn it off. Go to Settings-Safety & Driving Assistance. From there you can uncheck Forward Collision Warning and Forward Collision Warning Active Braking. As for your phone holder problems, look into the Pro Clip from ProClip USA. Been using mine for about 2 years now. Honestly OCD has a video on it. A little pricey, but good quality and solves all of your phone holder problems without sacrificing your vents or using a suction mount.
Thanks for the helpful advice! I'll definitely look into that!
Pro Clips are well worth the money.
FYI you will find collision control in many cars. I had it in my Jeep overland after the first experience with it I learned about it and liked it for the added safety feature, I wish my Hellcat had it. Also in my Jeep I had cooled seats I was not impressed. As for the wheels you need to purchase brake cleaner to get the brake dust.
Any problems wit the engine or transmission
Nice video! I just ordered my 2019 Scat Pack Wide Body last night. As far as the phone storage issue, I was thinking I'd be connecting mine to the Android Auto (iPhone has similar system) through the USB cable in the center console so I'd just store my phone in the console. Wouldn't that work for you?
At 8:40, that tiny storage bin next to the gear shifter wasn't primarily designed as a storage feature. The little plastic cup is actually a cap that gives access to the auto transmission park release lever which is intended only for emergency use. Rather than making the cap flat, Dodge just made it a little cup to drop coins and whatever into. The same little cup in the Charger is longer and thus more useful. In fact, the entire center console is designed better in the Charger IMHO. For example, Charger also has another little storage area under the climate control panel and has a door that slides to cover the cup holder holes. My 2012 Charger also has heated and cooled cup holders individually controlled and illuminated in white, blue, or red, depending on the selected mode. I sometimes miss little features like this (a tiny bit) in my new '19 Challenger RT-SP-WB, but most of the time, I'm too busy grinning ear to ear from the shear joy of driving the awesome Challenger. And to be honest, with wireless charging of my phone inside the console armrest bin and features like Android-Auto (Carplay for you Apple guys), I don't need to have my phone out at all, let alone mounted on the dash somewhere.
That’s your forward collision warning. You can turn it off. I turned mine off. There is a button where your sport mode and traction control buttons are.
Thanks man. That button shuts off my rear sensors and I use those a lot so I'll just have to live with it
I love it when it on mountain roads when it thinks you're gonna go off a cliff, lol.
The rest I can live with..because of the 6.4L..da beast
I just custom ordered one. I need it now. I’m so pumped.
Im thinkng when getting mine should i do cloth or leather seats? and thinking either way seat covers to protect them.
I still like the leather because when you're paying over 40k for a car, you would expect it to have some amenities like leather seats. But that's personal preference. Also I don't think you can get ventilated seats in the cloth
Good video. Yes, my brakes squeal too. I hate there is no good place for phone magnets. Had one in my old car and I loved it. Every inch is taken up by control panel. Also, phone charger where it’s useful, the passenger one unplugs and hate having to keep console open to charge phone.
Interesting video. I mean I get what you mean about the cup holder where your phone sort of wobbles and falls out. I have the exact same problem with my Tahoe as big as the SUV is I don’t have any place to put my phone so I just throw it in the cup holder. It’s not like I’m gonna be touching the phone too much since the new phone laws. Still tho great video as always
Thank you for watching! 🙏🙏🙏
I've had my Challenger for almost 5 years and haven't experienced any of the things you've mentioned.
Although I don't have the front camera, cause I already read enough about how that sucked before I got my car.
My leather seats still look brand new, my Uconnect has never rebooted ever and works great other than the slow loading of 20,000 mp3s on a stick.
As for my phone, I use a wireless charging vent clip holder which is awesome and my phone is easily accessible.
Also I find the heated and cooled seats in my car to function incredible.
You must have gotten a lemon, lol.
I'm totally loving my Challenger and don't plan on ever getting rid of it.
Oh nice man which challenger u got
Lol that little spot next to the shifter is the change dump spot
I use McGuire’s tire spray on my wheels, the aerosol is crap for tires, but great on dark wheels with minimal pressure after a good wash.
No doubt McGuire's makes an excellent wheel clnr. 👍 🚔
My charger came with a change tray in the center console. Maybe the dealer lost yours?
I like your comment about the phone storage I have same problem with my challenger to I don't know where to put my phone
Evo Nazi I purchased a phone holder that attaches to the AC vent to the left of the U Connect system, works great.
i bought a 2016 Challenger SRT 392 and have absolutely no issues. Absolutely love the car
I have a 2016 dodge challenger sxt and had it for about a month and my brakes are so loud
UCONNECT in my 2014 Dart GT does the same thing. It freezes, then fades to white, then restarts. I'm about to upgrade to a Scat, thrilled to know they haven't fixed that yet...
Actually I made a newer video talking about the fix. I took it into dodge and they did a software update. Its been about 5 months and works well with no issues!
I need a grab handle on the pillar! It's a must, soz l can slide in and out like them Duke Boyz. 🚔
I know I'm replying to a relatively old post but aside from the adaptive cruise control, everything else he's mentioned is spot on. Oh, and the sound system could have been a little beefier.
I have the 6 speed stick so half of your issues I don't have. (No adaptive cruise)My brakes don't make noise (yet) as for the trunk just get another set of shocks. My car only has 8,000 miles so my seats are still fine, and my vented seats work great! I still love my car to pieces! It's a 2016 and she only comes out in summer 1 one cause it's a gas guzzler an it constantly rains here in Washington so I don't like her getting dirty so I drive a more fuel efficient car in winter months.
I u see e to have loud breaks on my truck Intel I replaced my brakes with new ones
hi dont know if the Connect system is still doing the shut down and all that for u,
but I personally experienced the same thing and mine car was brand new, only had about 3000 miles when it started doing that
bought it to the dealership, the just replaced the whole radio console for free and now it works great
u should try to do that before it gets worse and before you hit that 30k miles otherwise u will have to pay by yourself
Thanks for the heads up! It hasn't done it for a few months but if it does again I will definitely go
hey do u use the Scatpack for daily drive?
I used to until I got a daily
I have a 2017 dodge 392 scatpack shaker..its a great car overall..number #4 the phone storage could been better and #6 the brake dust...I like a clean wheels as well..I've tried numerous cleaning items..its the brembo brake systems..are changed the matted wheels..that holds the dust..a glossy wheel be easy rinse..
I switched to ceramic brake pads, clean rims now :-)
@@evancontos2267 thanks...I appreciate that
Yo I agree with these, but the reason for the phone not being able to go anywhere, is the fact that they designed most ot the physical features from the iconic 1st gen challenger. Look in your door, the front cup holder slot is actually designed to hold the small milk cartons back in the day. Just the shape in general is the same this, what I do is just put the phone under my leg or on my phone mount
I can’t stand the blindspots
I have a 2021 Scatpack Widebody Shaker; love the car but small things that I can’t understand Dodge hasn’t changed/offered that would make car that much better:
1). Leather seat offering; alcantera is really just suede and they attract dirt/ hair and cars at this price should offer leather.
2). Passenger seat is manual; that’s crazy for a 57k car
3). Windows don’t go up automatically
4). Almost every other car made has buttons for the different drive modes; this car just has a button that takes you to the custom setting or otherwise you have to use the screen; too many screens to go through
5). No handle inside the trunk lid to close it; Charger has one.
6). Headrests are not in right place and are worthless
All these things could have been addressed easily and cheaply for Dodge; simply a lack of some engineer trying to improve the car
Overall, love the car but these small things are mind blowing for me.
Great points!
Hahaha! 😄 Hellcat Challenger&Charger guy here. Totally "get" what you're saying. Agreed. Of course I don't have adaptive cruise, but given how sensitive the "cross path detection warning" is in my cars, that !BRAKE! Warning must be annoying sometimes.🤔 For the Challenger, I wish the trunk would just open up like on the Charger when you hit trunk open button. My Challenger trunk lid weighs down the trunk shock as well.🙄
Yeah that trunk option would be nice! I miss that from my last car
I guess its fir extra weight on the back to help counterbalance the front heavy nature of the challenger. Just like the battery
Dodge does offer a Wireless Charger option for $350 sticker price...I don't know where it would be located though but I did see it on a window sticker online today !
Tony K so a challenger with a wireless charger and a charger with a wireless charger? CHARGER 🔌
Get a seat mounted organizer. I commute a ton and bought one on Amazon. It just sits on the passenger seat. Has different sized slots for junk. Someone has to sit in the passenger seat, just pick it up and put it on the back seat.
I just put a deposit on a slightly used 17 Scat Challenger. I'll be getting an organizer for it as well.
Microfiber towels are excellent for cleaning the wheels/rims
🤔Just buy better shock absorbers😒 and if you're worried about leaving change out in view, maybe you should reevaluate what amount you consider to be change. A couple hundred bucks is one thing but I am sure that someone won't break in for a few pennies.
Unplug the sensor. You lose all "safety" features but it should eliminate the distraction. I did that in the 18 wheeler I drive.
Brembo’s are typically loud and squeal a lot. My buddy has a Genesis Coupe Track and his brembos squeal like crazy.
KTM Channel the way a brake works is it uses the energy from motion and transfers that to heat through friction in order to stop the car. Some performance brakes are rated for higher speeds and made for more friction due to the higher speeds. So, if your brakes are rated for such high power and you’re not driving it hard it will squeak. A lot.
Cool video keep up the good work. And those cars do come with a coin holder it’s in the center console.. & sucks for the challenger no cell phone holder cause they chargers have one where the cup holders go there is a slot for cell phone holders but great video keep up good work God Bless.
Also to fix your brake dust get new brake pads called PowerStop Z26 help with the brake dust
Appreciate it my man! Thanks for the advice and for watching!🙏💪
SchwayZ_ yeah no problem also your other video with the ceramic coating in the can spray was tight can’t wait for the results to see if it actually works cause if it do best way to go then spending $1000 for a ceramic coating
@@CraytonTv thank you for watching the vids my man! Yeah so far ive been happy with it! I still have to test it in the rain/water...then I'll make an update video!
SchwayZ_ sweat can’t wait for the update video I’ll be on the look out cause if it’s that good I’ll sure be going that route
@@CraytonTv awesome man! Shooting for begging of September!
No express up window
A buddy of mine bought a phone holder so he wouldn’t lose it. But it’s downside is it takes up a cup holder
Get some Power Stop dustless brake pads and your squeal will stop AND your wheels will stay clean then go to Pepboys or Amazon and get new struts for your trunk and it will stay put for just a few bucks, easy swap too.
Now, for your brake problem, its because of the amount of dust the pads make. Get some dustless pads, and that should help
Giving more expert advice?
@@scottieodle7606 you sure do find me alot, dont you
dustless is best bet make sure the company started Business this Millenia though
Try waxing the wheels to add a protective layer on them
If you bought it used it may have the wrong brake pads which would also create more brake dust. Should have ceramic pads and not semi metallic.
It really is crazy there's no place to put your phone. Cup holders aren't even wide enough to drop an iPhone 12 in there. Phone just has to kind of lay across the two cup holder openings.
The issue of no place to store your phone is quite an oversight in any car today! Cmon Dodge - fix this!
Agreed!
They did, it’s Bluetooth. Throw it in the console and stop looking at it while I beep at you for sitting at a green light.
It’s a great idea. Anyone looking down at their phone while on the road…yes pretty much everyone is looking down all the time… should be pepper sprayed, tazed, slapped, books smacked out of hands, and tittytwistered.
Brembo brakes those that because it’s performance pads
All bolstered seats do that, even at low miles if you’re in and out a lot. You have to shimmy in like a goofball to not rub it.
That slot is probably for change . Cars are definitely not made to accomodate cell phones and it’s understandable because people get distracted while driving
Is that brake thing only in the scat pack??
It's really any model with brembos so the ScatPack, srt, and hellcat
@@SchwayZ thanks
@@SchwayZ because it's my dream car and I looking to get one soon
@@jeankramer9800 you're going to love it. Even with the brake sound haha
@@SchwayZ thanks
AlfaOBD will allow you to disable the ACC.
Me going from a 2001 Dodge Durango to a 2020 hellcat I love everything about it lol I can’t take your ride off your hands to 😂
The thing I hate is my door handles and windows freezing in the winter 🥶
Wow! You should try slowing down and doing some breathing exercises! My Chally is a 2013 R/T Classic, 5.7/6 sp/3.73 limited slip. I gave serious consideration for about 3 months in late 2012, to the various RT trim levels and being an "old school" type of guy, I decided the "Classic" was the version for me. I can't think of anything that I'm unhappy or dissatisfied with about my R/T.
Edit: 1/19/20 - My R/T is the base model, no options. I think I was in error about referring to it as a Classic.
Had it for 7 yrs and 100% happy with it.
The only 1 thing that pisses me off in my Challenger GT is why the hell indicator sound is SO LOUD???? I can get that. And that’s challenger only thing. I own a Ram, and Grand Cherokee, drive a charger and 300s none of those has such a loud indicator sound.
Ventilated seats….
Are you driving with the window open?.
The seats will work better when closed
Those supports that hold up the trunk are trunk struts had the same problem on a previous caddy sometimes you can fit bigger ones.
I had this same issue with an old Nissan Xterra. I just bought some new struts and changed them out in 30 minutes and the back hatch would go shooting up after that and hold with no issue. Sucks that Dodge put something a little underpowered for the purpose, but it can be remedied fairly easily.
It’s so funny to hear similar issues to my 2006 Dodge Magnum 5.7 RT. My leather on my driver seat wore the exact same way. There’s a hole at this point. I’m going to reupholster the seat. Also the struts that held up my hatch back. I guarantee my hatch is heavier than the challenger trunk. I had my changed on original warranty and they work perfectly since.
'Hate' that word concerning these awesome cars
Yes my challenger brakes squeal at all low speed crawl…a real takeaway
I got a Phone holder for $16, it clips onto an airvent 🤷♂️
This car is bugging the hell out of me even though I don't own it.
i would kill to have these problems
I agree bro it gets dirty so fucking fast I hate that
Millennial, nuff said. wah wah
Okay boomer
You probably have brake glazing. You don’t actually use your brakes the way they were designed. Go out and do a couple fast hard emergency stops and bet that doesn’t go away
Brembo brakes squeal unfortunately, happens on many cars with Brembos.
Phone? What phone? Storage, for....... Brake dust, I have a stick shift, hardly touch the brakes. Trunk lid, everyone I had except a 300s, never went up on it’s own.
Number 1 happens with my semi truck also.... absolutely hate it
Yeah it's annoying man
It's a Brembo thing. My Chevy SS made a lot of noise on the stock pads too. Went to ceramic pads and solved the problem.
“Incorrectly scares me” 😹😹😹 I’m thinking about getting a Dodge Challenger I’m a college student so getting a used sports car is a big risk anyone got any tips?
If youre a young unmarried man youre going to pay quite a bit for insurance, if you get the 6.4 youre going to pay more for premium fuel, youve got to take these into the account to see if you can afford the car. A 5.7 rt will be more affordable than the Scat anyway.
woget264 Lol I definitely wasn’t thinking about getting the scat unless I somehow grew a money tree I was thinking more the basic SXT or R/T
@@ChrisTyroneDrip If it were me I wouldnt even consider a challenger that wasnt a v8, there are alot of fun v6 and turbo 4 cars out there for 36kish.
I want a Scatpack so badly but same thing as you, Id better get a money tree first.
@@JohnBrowningsGhost im planning on getting mine used so I ain't paying full price. If I can't find one in my price range i plan on getting a toyota 86 or subaru wrx
I bought an sxt and it is faster then what i expected. Iwas like v6 really? But damn that girl is fast
Brembos are noisy ,get the powerstop ,not sure what you would need ,for the 6 piston bremos it would be z23 and z26 pads ,no squeaks no dust(very little compared to brembro
Collision warning is not needed and absolutely overkill.
It’s happened half a dozen times in 2 years to me , no bother, yours must be too sensitive. Adaptive Cruise is the greatest invention ever. I’ve drove over 300 miles without touching a pedal. Also it’s great to have when you are on a 2 lane road. Waiting to pass as it lets you set the distance & makes it easier to pass. I have it on a 2 year newer Outlander & that will go all the way down & stop you. Of course I don’t trust & cover my brake but I’ve had the Adaptive Cruise actually stop the car.
You can adjust the sensitivity on this. Mine is set to least sensitive
It's almost a smart vehicle! Its also an American car so quality materials aren't at the forefront!
Loose coins scratches the interior plastic. It doesn’t look good
NUMBER ONE FOR ME....CAN I PLEASE ROLL DOWN THE REAR WINDOWS 😠
i just bought a scat pack 2016
things i hate
1. no auto up windows
2. storage, like you said under the screen would be cool. (i just use the seat or glove compartment)
other than that, that's it!
i'm actually about to do my top 5 likes/dislikes
Only thing I'ma hate is ppl asking for a ride and to drive plus having to put 60 in just to fill the tank . Other then dat. I wud of got the wide body .
i hate when my dodge has no Phone holder inside and im agree with that part 100% ... what i do is put my phone next to the passenger seat lill area
try using brake cleaner on your wheels that shit cleans everything lmao
Driving manual is more fun tbh
The audio is so annoying
seriously ? whinning about change ? put it in your pocket or get a sandwich baggie and tuck it in the door … as for the phone doesn't it all come thru the blue tooth ? just lay it on the seat and if someone is in the passenger seat cant you tuck it in the door ? wash your car more and the brake dust will come off easier . I have no problem with the brake dust
Jim diamond the kind a person that thinks his car is perfect in every single way
@@SchwayZ hey i like your videos
All cars have their things
But thought you had some little things that were not worth complaining about
Some things were worth mentioning
I get that you are trying to help
The list I provided may not be the same for everyone but those are things that I have either had on previous cars (but don't have on this one) or things that just get on my nerves. Some of the solutions you provided do not work. Aside from the cupholder there isn't really an accessible storage compartment in the door. Also washing your wheels barely fixes the squeak or dirt problem. I have power washed them several times and the noise and dirt comes back within an hour of driving.
I'll trade ya
If you want storage, buy a station wagon, not a muscle car.
You can turn that irritating thing off with a hammer😎
If you don’t like it,give it to me!!
You're missing the point. It's meant to point out some weaknesses on cars. No car is perfect so a potential buyer can listen to these reasons and determine whether they still want to buy the car.
You’re buying muscle car not confort
Everyone keeps talking about spare change and cell phones. Get into reality people - it’s 2021 cryptocurrency & microchips are available
Read the cars manual, jesus
Huh? Please elaborate
Sell it
"Here`s 7 things I hate about my Challenger: 1. insignificant 2. insignificant 3. insignificant , 4. , 5. , 6. 7. detto....."
If it is that big of an issue, trade the car in! Please stop whining!
