Oh, and this is probably the last non-German car I ever buy seldom maybe a Ford truck. Womp womp, sorry America.
You bought a used car, from a brand known for shit quality, sight unseen, didn't get a PPI and it's America's fault? Sounds like a lack of due diligence.....
Considering the car had a full maintenance history from dealerships, one previous owner, was a 2015, and this was a national dealer brand selling the car, PPI seemed unnecessary. I have done this before for my two previous German cars and had absolutely no issues. Whatever happened doesn’t seem like something a PPI would have caught. Plus with a warranty from the selling dealer, there was a lot of confidence in this purchase. Just based on my experience with cars [emoji2373]

They seem to handle some abuse pretty well but rarely make it anywhere near 200k miles without a replacement or rebuild. I know you're probably set on ditching this thing asap but I wouldn't be too concerned just yet with all the different error codes that popped up. The challenger lit up like a christmas tree when the ABS module went out.
The car only had 65k miles when I bought it, put another 1,500 on it since purchase. Pretty low for something like this to happen.
