TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR SURE.Ok so I have seen a thread or two on this, but I am not sure anyone had a definitive answer. I like a few others have a 2020 Hellcat with 1500 miles on it, and it developed an annoying creeking/sqeak sound out the right rear. No Worse over bumps, just a constant consistent sound. Quite obvious as you just drive at 20 mph in a neighborhood, you just hear that right rear creeking and sqeaking at a constant rate. I can make the sound pushing down on the right rear of the car as well.
Took it into the dealership and of course they had the "foreman" look at it and its normal "suspension settling". There is no way this is normal. If this is normal I will have to sell it which is the last thing I want to do. I already had the bushings lubed, Now what? I literally cant put up with this sound. I guess try a different dealership? The one I went to wouldn't give me a time of day, and that was after waiting for 3 weeks to get the appointment, plus 2 days to get to it.
As I learned years back with my SRT10 Truck, there is no such thing as an "SRT" mechanic and its the same guy who services the minivan working on your hellcat. And this is was my fear going back into a dodge, but here I am again.
Sorry for being emotional, I just love this car and this sounds is unbearable for the price we pay for these cars. I have a very loud AFE exhaust too, and even that wont cover up this sound!
Any help or guidance is sincerely appreciated.

TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR SURE.
[/QUOTE]Well unfortunately I got the car back today after a long wait for parts. Strut assembly was replaced still have the same frustrating sound. It is going back in next wed for its third visit under 2000 miles.

I never understand why these techs can't get it right the first time. They just throw stuff at it till something works. You know they weren't sure what it was when the replaced the strut assembly. But it's under warranty so I assume they get paid for every try. Sorry to hear the same thing we hear all the time when you have to take it in. Good luck getting it right, I know you'll be so happy when it happens.
