Anyone had any luck with this problem being resolved? Car does not drive the same after update. Welch, from Florida, says others are having the same problem with their Dodge Challengers after the update. There are similar problems being reported with the updates not over the air for the 17's. Heads need to roll at whatever Dodge office is responsible for this. Dodge wants a screen shot of what is happening.
I'm sure this is happening to thousands of other Challengers who have not figured out that their sport settings for the engine are all messed up.
Let's hope Dodge hears all of these issues and gets it fixed fast. My dealer said there is absolutely no way to go back to a previous version of the software. I had no issues with the previous software and the car was running amazing.
UConnect 8. Dodge Cares joined the conversation on the forum but they just kept opening new cases without providing any answers. Other owners are noticing problems beyond the Sport Mode. Another found that his music files had been altered.
Rex, from New Orleans, is so angry that he wants a different vehicle. They get four tries to fix the same issue within my state. I might be a bit presumptuous but I'd love to get a new car because of a mistake by Dodge. They've been dead silent in issuing a statement recognizing the issue. An owner named John suggested contacting someone higher up at Fiat Chrysler. Pietro asks those channels WTF is going on, and get it resolved.
The "top down" theory can work, he just needs to know about it now, rather than later. A few months ago, an owner who goes by Turtle, had a breakthrough. A Dodge Cares specialist commented on the forum. If you are not part of this population but are experiencing the sport mode deletion concern please send us a PM with your VIN if you haven't done so already so I can pass it along to our engineering team for further investigation.
Part of the frustration is that they are still forcing the updates that are causing the same issues without providing the patches to people who are forced to update. One would think that they would stop the updates until the problems are addressed. A lifetime member of the Challenger forum is furious. Despite me and others telling Dodge that the model Manuals are having the same problem as the Challenger Manuals. They still claim that the bug only applies to manual transmission Challengers and Chargers, maybe when they discover that there are no manual transmission Chargers they might consider that the manual transmission owners know what they are talking about.
I guess I will just take my Challenger to the dealer and have them deal with Dodge about getting the engine sport mode working. Maybe they will take their word that the manual transmission cars are having the same problem.
Another owner tried to get his vehicle fixed and was denied. An owner who goes by Nethkin sums the frustration up perfectly. My M6 Challenger Scat Pack is still broke, going on 7 months now. It is hard to believe that Fiat Chrysler has figured out how to address the problem on Challenger models but is leaving the owners of Challengers and some Challengers out in the cold. The Challenger is a halo performance car that brings fans to the brand.
It is crazy that something as simple as a software bug is taking this long to fix! Skip to main content. By Mary Conway Jan 26 - pm. Owners of the and Dodge Challengers are furious over a forced software update that they say has eliminated their cars' popular Sport Mode.
The problems started last summer and many drivers say they still haven't been able to get it fixed. Performance Vehicles. Dodge News, Pricing and Reviews.

Multiple problems and the dealer said Dodge did not have a computer for the V Yet my home town mechanic shade tree sort fixed it with his 'hand-held' computer. FCA is as bad as Chrysler ever was also. Vernon Atkins wrote on January 28, - am Permalink. Fiat Chrysler is the worst customer service ever my Challenger with 6-speed automatic transmission I believe has 9 recalls the last three with a supposedly the timing chain which is BS the driver side airbag on the passenger side airbag it took 3 years to get the driver side airbag and I was told that it is dangerous that could shoot metal Parts into the occupant causing Serious injury or death but they told me don't worry go ahead and drive it it's safe then they recall the passenger side airbag it's been 4 years and that thing still hasn't replaced as far as the timing chain that is just a cheap fix distraction they were called The Challenger and the charger all the 5.
Matthew Kristian wrote on January 28, - pm Permalink. Vernon, you're very misinformed. The P01 is a legitimate safety recall that came out due to timing chain failure, possibly causing engine lockup and a crash.
My dealership just replaced valves, lifters, pushrods, timing chain, and every gasket and seal related to the repair due to TC failure in a customer vehicle, all paid for under subsequent damage via the recall. You also must not understand how MDS fuel saving technology works, it doesn't have a separate module to disconnect, the Solenoids that control the system are under the intake manifold and it must be removed to mess with them. Also, there has never been a 6 speed automatic in a Challenger.
It sounds like you had a poor service experience at a dealership, you should probably try another dealer and you should call FCA Customer Care, they might be able to help.

The only way I was able to fix it was turning off the car. I used the security update USB to revert software and it solved the problem. Leo Wilson wrote on February 1, - am Permalink. When I turn on sport on performance pages then hit anything else it goes bad I have a challenger 6 speed scat pack my vin is 2c3cdzfjogh thank you for the help. Jason wrote on February 3, - am Permalink. My SRT has had continued problems since an update in September of ' Radio has been replaced 4 times.
Jim wrote on February 5, - pm Permalink. I just recently purchased a used , how can I determine whether or not it has had the update? Martin Roby wrote on February 24, - pm Permalink. The code is a means of deterring criminals from spoofing keys , Dodge said.
Instead, the owner could arm the system by entering the code when they feel circumstances dictate — for example, parking in a questionable neighborhood — and then disarming it by re-entering it upon their return. If the owner dropped off the car like the night before and input the code, then they would have to provide the code to service. Though Dodge technology allows customers to start their vehicles with a smartphone, Elshoff said the Security Mode code needed to be entered physically inside the vehicle.
Dodge said the feature will be available late in the second quarter of the year as a free software update available through dealerships. Provided by Dodge.
