    I, 100% agree with an absolutely TERRIBLE CAMERA on my 2020.
    Dealer verified my complaint and replaced the camera.
    No change with the replacement, still horrible!

    Wife’s Ford Edge and Silverado’s are far superior.

    Wish the auto up feature was available for drivers window.

    Groaning noise in steering column turning wheel under 10 MPH. Dealer ordered replacement steering column.
    Install pending.

    The UConnect Radio- Ugh!!!. I spent $ upgrading the speakers adding a DSP and Amp. The crappy radio keeps locking up and going blue screen . Someone would make a fortune if they could come up with a aftermarket radio that works in these cars.

    The worst thing i dislike about my 2018 plum crazy SRT is the freaking brake dust from those Brembo brakes and the touchiness of the brakes,im sick of cleaning the rims every week

    The radio! The sound quality is ok but trying to modify these is some work. You need some decent speakers and a amp with high level inputs and a sound processor. Don't know how the Harman or Alpine factory systems are.

    Although many of the above mentioned things are annoying what I hate most is how the trunk lid drips water into the trunk after washing or a heavy rain.

    The first and worst problem is the sound-deadening foam inside the fenders that trap moisture and cause rust.

    Second are the cheap plastic moldings that crack and have to be replaced such as the rocker panels and inside window trim.

    Thirdly is the rubber hood seal that tears.

    2019 Challenger RT. I've learned to live with the lack of grip of the rear tire, but I can do something about that. My biggest complaint of this thing is the ceiling height. I wish I could have found one without a sun roof. That would have given me the 2-3 inches I need to actually sit in the position I want to. I've gotten used to having the back leaned back two notches more than I usually would, but if I had it to do over, that would be the absolute one thing I would change.

    My SRT is a 2012 so I’d say the worst is the blind spot from the rear pillar. I’d love those little sensors in the mirror and a backup camera like the later ones.

    I live on a mountain with crappy roads so my least favorite is the engine braking followed by the 20" rims. Never driven a 60s car but I've read that the engine braking was designed to be similar to those original 60s muscle cars.
