The county has a shop where all the departments send their vehicles for normal repairs and maintenance so their aren't at the dealers for an oil change. At the last county meeting, they was actually thinking about selling the Chargers and buying used Impala's that was previously owned by other departments.
There are 2 '09 Challengers total in the county, an SRT8 and a SE. I know the guy who owns the SRT8 as he comes into the store that I run twice a week. Every time he comes in there he is cussing that car and asks if anyone wants to buy it. You think my dads charger is bad at needing repairs, his Challenger spends more time at the dealership then it does on the road. Last week he's decided to trade it on for a new Camaro SS and says he'll never own another Chrysler vehicle again. He has ran into the guy who owns the SE a few times at the dealership and says he has it almost as bad.
Chrysler was never known has having good quality but this is pathetic.

Considering the first anti-Dodge post had only your dad's Charger as the one with the problem, I would think that you would have told this story the first time around if you were trying to make a point against Dodge quality if every Dodge charger in the police dept. has as many problems as you make it out to be. I call BS on your rant...If it was true, the way the police force drives their vehicles is a little rougher than most since the cars are not theirs so they would be in the shop more often than your average citizen with their own car that they take care of.
It is time to get this thread back on topic as it is not supposed to be a bash dodge thread in the first place... To be fair, all American car companies over the years have had quality issues and perhaps some more than others, however all have very good 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty when you buy new at this point in time.. And since we are talking about employee pricing on a new Challenger with 0% financing and comparing those deals with what GM is offering or could be offering by the time our pre-orders arrive, makes this an interesting and important thread...
