Wouldn't be too worried about it, the CTS-V's have a similar known issue. Mine isn't making any noise, but I'm hoping it does so I can get a replacement, lol.The 6.2 is stout.
The IHI superchargers are having issues with the bearings in the supercharger.
I hear that there a fix in the works. Hellcat owners are having superchargers replaced. Some are for a second time.
I didn't hear anything about those issue mentioned. Just the supercharger issue.Wouldn't be too worried about it, the CTS-V's have a similar known issue. Mine isn't making any noise, but I'm hoping it does so I can get a replacement, lol.
Now I was reading about a other issues that kind of has me on the fence. Leaking lines, dead cylinders, etc.
Since you put it that way,.........you make it sound like you're buying it for me.It's a 650RWHP car with a full warranty, Geez. Who cares about a few issues where the defects are measure in the PPM. Grow a pair and just do it....
Exactly the same color combo I would do as well with the PCP.I would get a plum crazy, manual Hellcat with brass colored wheels and sepia interior.
issues for me is the Charger didn't get a manual option (small issue) and not sure I want a payment.It's a 650RWHP car with a full warranty, Geez. Who cares about a few issues where the defects are measure in the PPM. Grow a pair and just do it....
Noticed it's from early 15' so some of the issues might have been fixed. The one guy who was told to pound sand on the tons of paint issues on his car, pissed me off.I didn't hear anything about those issue mentioned. Just the supercharger issue.
What have you heard/read?
I think all those issues have been addressed. I haven't seen or heard of any more of those issues.Noticed it's from early 15' so some of the issues might have been fixed. The one guy who was told to pound sand on the tons of paint issues on his car, pissed me off.

I haven't dug too deep into it, when I do start to research a lot it has a habit of becoming a purchase.I think all those issues have been addressed. I haven't seen or heard of any more of those issues.
The one that makes me nervous and bothers me is the supercharger issue.
IMO the supercharger issue is greatly overblown. I think a lot of these guys have never had a FI car before and a very small handful of cars with a legitimate issue have created "panic in the streets".
Mine makes a little noise but so did the Gen 2 TVS on my Shelby.
I've seen a couple go mango's with no stripes and I personally think if you're going to go that color you need the stripes to break it up. I'd also opt for the black wheels over the BM on that color.
I prefer the 16 wheels over the 17's but they're a PITA to clean.
I readily admit to being color bias though.

What issue? I thought the IHI blower was stout, or is it just the 6.2L that's stout?
paint looks great but that interior is DOG DOO DOOI would get a plum crazy, manual Hellcat with brass colored wheels and sepia interior.
everything sounds fine to me ? lolThere are owners panicking about the noise the supercharger is making. I have not read of any OEM superchargers failing from this extra noise.
Mine started getting somewhat noisy so I have been taking a video about every 2-4 weeks to document if it gets worse. Some say it sounds similar to a bad power steering pump.
This is one of the video's I took showing the noise the supercharger is making. So far it has not got worse and I still have 4 years on the warranty, so I am not too worried.

Mine was a little louder than yours when I had my dealer check. They ended up replacing it. Mine had been showing about 2# less boost.
I would consider that a problem, wouldn't you? You're down 2lbs. in boost with a new supercharger. That doesn't bother you? I'm not being sarcastic, just curious.Mine was a little louder than yours when I had my dealer check. They ended up replacing it. Mine had been showing about 2# less boost.
