Hi everyone....I just bought a 2008 Charger with the 3.5 L Se plus packager...love the car so far ...except for just one thing....there is a whistling noise coming apparently from the exhaust in front of the left rear wheel...its sort of loud.....sounds like a jet engine ....its constant when idling, and I cant hear it inside the car.....its not unbearablely loud....but it sounds like an air leak of some sort....is this normal??? The car runs fine. I bought the car two days ago, with 20 miles on it. Thanks!!!

Have a question for other Charger owners. Recently bought a new Charger, owners manual says to change oil every 6,000 miles. In my other vehicles, I have changed oil every 3,000. I just don't know if I should follow the manual's recommendation for every 6 or if I should still go ahead every 3. 6 would be great, but is it too good to be true or what? Any advice? Thanks!

Replying to: spikescharger (Apr 06, 2008 12:15 pm) Many other people have this issue on their cars and it seems like its not just the 08 models. Owners of 2006 and 2007 models report the same issue. This seems more of a design flaw than a problem. Check out the thread regarding this whistle here: Charger Whistle - ChargerForums.com Hopefully the manufacturer will find a resolution and release the information to the service departments at the dealerships because it does not seem that anyone had this fixed yet even though the service advisers can hear the whistle. |

This morning, my lovely Charger stalled while turning into a parking lot at about 5 to 10 miles per hour. I cranked it and it started right away. I drove to the dealership and it did not stall again. The dealerships' service department thinks I need a tune-up and an intake & throttle body cleaning. I would rather not spend the $$$ right now... I asked around and some people say it sounds like bad gas, so my next plan is to replace the air filter, then add fuel injection cleaner with a tank of premium gas. Does anyone have any other suggestions???? 2006 Charger R/T (Daytona: 5.7L, 350 HP V-8) with 43,000 miles so far.

Replying to: discgolfer99 (Oct 24, 2008 3:12 pm) I changed the air filter, put premium gas and fuel injection cleaner and she's running smoothly again. During my investigation, I found out that my friend who has a 2006 Jeep Liberty had the same issue and was fooled into spending $300 by the same dealership... in the end and after she had taken her Jeep up there 5 times in 2 weeks, it ended up being bad gas... They tried the same gig with me, but I decided to research it instead of just taking their money hungry advise from the beginning.... I am soooooo glad I decided to join the forums and investigate myself and I STILL LOVE MY CHARGER!
