My husband has a 2014 Dodge Charger RT all wheel drive. We have been hearing this strange grinding noise from the front end. It only happens when you let off the gas. It is not there while accelerating. Two different Dodge dealerships can’t figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That sort of sounds like a drive shaft, CV joint, or trans-axle problem to me. Try experimenting to see if there’s any brake involvement maybe. Drive it at a steady speed for example, then let off the gas and take note of the noise. Then drive it at that same steady speed while applying the br…

Is it still under factory warranty? If not, do you have documentation the 2 dealerships could not diagnose the problem while under factory warranty?. If you do it is Dodge’s problem until properly repaired.

I changed the front axels, front differential, transfer case, the front and rear drive shaft couplers. I’ve taken it to two dealerships and three other mechanic shops. I’…

Tucson? You familiar with A mountain?

I am back in the shop today, still looking for that noise. The shop says it travels up and down the drive train. Says it may be a differential, but doesn’t want to say for sure. I think it is somewhere in a universal joint or bearing. I’ve written the FCV Manufacturer several times, no reply. I thin…

Keep complaining until they find a solution.

AWD 2014 Charger: The mystery grinding noise was the rear drive shaft. I just changed the rear drive shaft and the noise is gone. Thank you BrakeMax! No more grinding noise. It’s been doing it since 51k miles. Now I have 62k miles.
