Yoo HC community.. So I just took delivery of my Charger HC WB Redeye yesterday October 2nd had 24 miles on it today I’m at 150.. quick run down since leaving dealership I had a few good pulls top speed @112 mph n sport mode red key.

To get to the point I have witnessed 3-4 times so far a delayed start. Later the night of day 1 with the car remote start red key. Then day 2 today October 3rd at least 3 times a slight delay only after car been off 1 hr or more. It’s kinda embarrassing bekuz remote start redkey n parking lot n it lagging like that sounds crazy or to family n I think it’s still in that break in phase potentially the reason home for the night I’m at 170ish. Wanna kno if anyone has experienced this and or did it go away catch up with the system let me kno community!!

My Redeye has spun the starter for 30 seconds continually, two times, without stating. The starter spins but does not engage the engine. Sounds horrible and I can’t stop it by hitting the start button again. this happen to anyone else?

Yes... try holding the start button down for a full 2 + seconds to interrupt the start cycle and stop the starter.

OP is this a hot re-start with remote or does it have a problem with each remote start?

This happened often in my 2019 Charger Hellcat. It would stay stuck trying to turn over until I hit the brake and start button several times until it eventually started. Very embarrassing. Eventually the car went into limp mode on the highway. That went away after a restart.

I took it to the dealership and they reset everything. The problem mostly went away, especially after I started pressing the start button twice to get the car electronics/fuel pump going before starting it. Hellcats don’t like being started off the rip. I’m doing the two button press with my Redeye to hopefully avoid future problems.

I did with no luck. Starter spun without engaging no matter how long I pressed and held the starter button. I just got off the phone with my dealers service manager. He thinks it’s a bad solenoid and wants to check out the starter. I will post up if they find anything.

Would agree then to check out the starter solenoid...
