Angry Dodge DOES NOT Deliver!!!

I bought a 2015 SRT Hellcat that has been sitting 20 miles from my car dealer, yet no one is allowed to touch the vehicle because Dodge has a hold on all Hellcats with no determined date of release. Yes, you heard correctly, they can not deliver their product in the 21st Century. Fire them all or buy a Ford!!!
WHY???

Angry Still no Hellcat

The dealer is as frustrated as am I. The reason is that they are sending inspectors around the country to every distribution point, in order to reinspect all Hellcats. This is a knee jerk reaction to complaints by dealers that cars have allegedly shown up at their dealerships with mud and snow damage.
I just want my new car. I will wash it.

I read something awhile back that there were issues with the rear quarter windows blowing out at speed. Dunno.

Default Hellcat non delivery

Both SRT Customer assistance and the dealer have stated that dealers have complained that workers have gotten snow and mud on and in vehicles in Canada so Dodge Management response is to send a team of independent inspectors around the country to inspect the vehicles before they are release. I don't care, what they use as an excuse, I want my car!

Someone I know has just purchased a Hellcat about two weeks ago. Where did the aforesaid information derive from? > 'Mud & Snow'. Not saying that this is not true, BUT this possibly could be Chrysler's stance in lieu of a more significant issue.

My car sat in a rail yard from 31 January to 11 February for no legitimate reason. The performance of no inspection was evident. The car was filthy, so there is no possibility that anyone could inspect the car. I have my car and it was worth the wait, however, there was no justifiable reason for the wait! The information came from the dealer and Dodge SRT Customer Care. Through an email I sent to the Dodge CEO, he was personally involved and instrumental in the final release of my Hellcat.

So there you have it. Dodge does not deliver because they can't....
