2019 Problem & Fix Thread

[adrianp89]

Squeaking brakes - bed your pads and season your rotors. Also, pull the pads and add come copper grease to the backing plates.

Assume the dealer would handle this?

My main problem right now is a water leak. First thunderstorm after purchasing my 2019 limited ended up having wet carpet on drivers side front and back. Took to dealer and they said they fixed plugged water tube in the sunroof. Well it’s rained twice in 2 days and now the passenger side back carpet is wet! It appears to be coming from passenger side back corner of the truck and running down in the back floor. Could be the satellite antenna in the roof or back window. Back to the dealer we go!

Not usually. I've had to do it on so many cars and trucks I've owned.

Dealers seem to consider it a service and want to charge you for it.

^^^^^ If I have a brake squeal issue I'll get some decent aftermarket pads and swap them out.

A/C system on auto takes 3-5 minutes to sense the temp and then start working properly.

It’s been 100+ here in Texas and the auto A/C seems to be all or nothing at first- then starts blowing correctly after awhile.

Anyone else had this issue?

With a few hundred miles it should be covered IMO.

Sure it's covered but all they'll do is sand the existing pads and maybe resurface the rotors (which effectively shortens the rotor life). Not what I want to have done.

Agreed. I have to make my Charger in soon for oil change, so I will talk to them and see their thoughts.

Okay, let’s add these. My rear right passenger window sounds like it hits a hitch in the track on the way down. Nothing severe, nothing that limits its use, but it will be addressed. My A/C has this static sound coming from the two front central vents whenever it’s blowing hard. It’s annoying. Whatever has a delayed shut off outside of the cab was extremely loud the other day - keeping an eye on this. I also have one piece of trim that isn’t flush, which I’ll ask them to fix. None of these are deal breakers or things I even remember daily (except the A/C), but will be addressed.

What is the noise outside? If it is high pitched it could be the HID or LEDs light across the truck. That is normal.

It’s high-er pitched, not high pitched like the whistling. It doesn’t sound like a groan. I’ve only heard it once and I haven’t been unable to reproduce the sound. My last two Chargers had HIDs and LEDs and I never heard this noise. Then again, I only heard it because I stayed at the truck after shutting down after a long drive. I rarely just sit there for 5 minutes after parking.

I notice with mine I have a high pitch sound, much like my aftermarket HIDs in my old Ram. I do not think it is there with my Charger. I also think the air suspension makes a high pitched sound, but it may be the bed lights. Keep us updated.

From what I've read, it could also be bad seal at brake light.

OK...go tell the dealer to do it under warranty.

There were two small door dings on pickup. Dealer is taking care of it, I asked for the scratch and dent sale but they insisted on on fixing it. Honestly it’s going to happen anyway and the first one is the hardest so I figured it would just get them out of the way. [emoji3]

If I absolutely have to park next to other cars I usually raise it up to OR2 and put out the running boards. Little in life gives me more pleasure than seeing other peoples paint on my running boards and trailer hitch. I hate people who swing their doors open with no regard for the car next to them.

I saw the setting for "auto" floor boards and "store" floor boards. You're saying there is a setting to just put them out and have them stay out when the truck is parked?

There should be. On my F150, I extend them to stay out/deployed when I stop at restaurants or other parking lots I can't "protect" against door dings. It'll stop car doors from hitting the truck. It doesn't help with higher vehicles.

I don't think there is ...I looked because my supervisor has a King Ranch and he extends his for the car wash guys to use when drying his truck.

I'm a disabled vet some one of those perks is the super huge handicap spots. If they are full.......I park way out. But yep.....there are times when I'm "stuck" between cars, but not often.

It's normal. It's in the manual. Manual recommends "face only" fan on "high" not on "auto" not on "recirculation" windows down for a couple minutes to flush out the hot air. I've done this the entire 800 miles and it works wonders. Once it cools down, then I go to auto mode and set my desired temperature. Is this optimal.....maybe not, but it works.

To provide you with maximum comfort in the Automatic

mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan will remain on

low until the engine warms up. The blower will increase in

speed and transition into Auto mode.

Not a setting, I just have to deploy them manually. That would be nice to have a shortcut button to raise it up and deploy the steps. I’d call it Wal-Mart parking mode. [emoji3]

Thank you so much for this!!!!! The other day, my tinter had the doors open and I could see the boards were in the way so I "stored" them..........I just went outside and sat inside and now I SEE ......when the boards are in, "deploy" shows Thanks alot! But I just tested with my wife's very low Mercedes and it seems that her door would still hit me and her car is really low. But I'll do a better test later when I feel like moving it closer lol
