Dodge Challenger Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems (2024)

Abs and traction control light came on after starting the car. A few days later, the lights are still on but is making a loud clicking sound when making tight right turns. Day after the clicking, the check engine light came on while driving 45 mph. The car was still on but with no acceleration. Pressing on the gas peddle would rev the engine with no progress. I stopped the car, turned it off and checked my fluids under the hood. All looked fine. After restarting the car, it would run then lose acceleration again. Car then became unresponsive and towed to the dealer. The dealer has had the car for 2 days and still don't know what is wrong. Service adviser said the car is not "communicating. " I am currently paying for a rental out of pocket. Fca said there are no recalls based on my VIN. Based on my research, it sounds like the p60/alternator recall.

Purchased vehicle January 2014. At 7000 miles, rear engine seal began leaking. Replaced under warranty. Valve rocker arm guides replaced under service bulletin for ticking noise at 9000 miles. Leaking valve cover gasket replaced at 10,000 miles (result of previous repair). Check engine light at 11,750 miles - over-rev code - this condition occurred at 70 mph, accompanied by a sudden deceleration and "chirping" of rear tires. Vehicle has not been abused in any way. Currently have 12,000 miles on vehicle and dreading warranty expiration in 6 months. . .

Brand new car delivered had a ticking sound only while driving at aprox 1800 rpm's and above. . Complained to dealer and was told "normal" for new car until engine break-in. Weeks later star case s1309000013 performed on car to remove tabs left on lifters at engine assembly. Tabs removed, no relief from ticking. Chrysler rep authorized dealer to change regular oil to srt penzoil 0w40 full synthetic with cost being billed to Chrysler for next 5 years. Ticking is still heard inside vehicle while driving. Dealer refuses to service car for "ticking" engine. I was told Dodge would not pay for their time to check the car. I took car out of state to another dealer who was not able to repair ticking per Dodge. This is not the hemi tick. Some customers are getting their cars repaired, others are being brushed off as "normal". Some have had engines replaced and another has had his vehicle replaced. If this is "normal" why aren't all 5. 7 engines doing this? they're not! it is extremely annoying to listen to the tickatickaticka constantly while driving. It is embarassing to have passenger's hear the ticking. I have gathered about 60 other hemi 5. 7 owners together all with the same problem. Why won't Chrysler/Dodge fix our cars? an email from Chrysler stated " "to review of our records indicates that the condition in question is a function of your vehicle's design and is not a defect in materials, workmanship, manufacturing, or factory preparation. These are the only types of defects covered under the new vehicle limited warranties. " what they are telling me is that they knew this problem existed and it's a function of my vehicle's design? there is nothing in any documents I have that state this car will tick as it does. I would not have purchased this vehicle if ticking was part of the car's design. Fix it Chrysler!!!!!.

My 2014 Challenger r/t has had a bad ticking valve train since about new. The ticking, clipping, sewing machine noise is on the passenger side,it's loud and clearly heard in the cab at around 1500rpm and up. Star case tab removal was performed, no good. Next lifters and mds solenoids was replaced still no good. Now along with the ticking noise I have loud spark knock in mds mode on passenger side. Have burnt oil smell after attempted repairs. Dealer and Dodge rep says all is normal. Why was all these repairs attempted to fix my engine now all of a sudden it's all normal? what's normal about loud ticking valve train that can be heard in the cab, loud spark knock and burning oil smell? it's not, they want me to go away! well I'm not! I qualify for lemon law but just want my car repaired. Isn't that what a warranty is for? come on Dodge step up and repair my engine! give me what I payed for! don't treat your customers like dirt!.
