If you’re one of the people to purchase or lease a 2024+ Dodge Charger Daytona, you might want to rethink how you shut your hood. Slamming it shut hard could land you in the service bay with a broken latch and a lot of regret.

Perfect, sounds like the Indian Italian Franco Turkish engineering is paying off. How bout the doors and trunk hatch? Gently close always wearing silk gloves? Should go over great with the crowd accustomed to buying Dodge Chargers.
 
I'm sure they warn you before taking delivery as the salesman would know.........:cautious:
 
It'd be interesting so see stellantis call them back and put hurricanes in them. Wouldn't be hard to do
 
WHAT T. H. I have never seen a car company put out warnings that their hood latches/locks will break if you slam it. I have sent cars to the junk yards with door locks and trunk and hood latches all still working after 10 to 20 plus years of slamming them shut! it's what men do! heck even some women! this is a total quality fail caused by a buying decision from the bean counters in the purchasing dept. to save a few $ by going with the cheapest bid supplier!!!!! damn the Quality! all while the bean counters get a that a Boy pat on the back! form upper management! then when they see and issue like this they try to avoid fixing the issue! with needed recalls! with A B.S. video! reminds me of the failing cheap Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning unit or climate control units in ram trucks under the dash from 2002-2010 where your heat or ac wont come out the vents where you set it to! or it's cold on one side due to internal plastic rods being used instead of metal ones! on the blend doors, this was another buy from the cheapest bidder decision! I had a 2nd Gen. 1995 that had it's heat an ac working! all the way to the junkyard! then wham the Gen 3. 2002 -2010 comes and my 2004 heat goes bad in 2009! only 5 years in! same bean counter decisions! same crap-different Chrysler co. Owners, and management, over these years. And don't Blame the engineers all the time either! they will specify the use of quality stronger important internal parts in a component and that part will be cheapened by the bean counters out sourcing to the lowest bidders to make the component! I have a engineer buddy named D. who was at Ford, who got fired because he complained too loud about the Ford bean counters changing his internal parts specs to cheaper internals like by letting the part company picked making what he designed use cheaper cost plastics that will fail! instead of metal alloys within what he designed!
 
Astonishing. Three years ago Dodge lead the segment in sales and popularity. Today they can't give a car away if they beg. This is a downfall of historic proportion.

They screwed the pooch so bad here that I'm starting to wonder if even the Hemi comeback can save this train wreck. If I were them I'd fast track the Gen IV Hemi engines. Like, really fast track.
