Common Dodge Charger problems
The Dodge Charger is a popular car known for its performance and style. However, like any vehicle, it can have its share of problems. Here are some of the most common issues reported by Dodge Charger owners:
- Window Failure: Window failure is another common problem reported by Dodge Charger owners. The windows may not go up or down properly, or they may stop working altogether. This is often due to a cable failure in the window regulator or a failed motor.
- Check Engine Light due to Failed Thermostat: A failed thermostat can cause the check engine light to come on in the Dodge Charger. The thermostat keeps the engine from overheating by controlling how much coolant flows through the engine block. If it fails, overheating can occur, causing damage to other parts of the car.
- Wiring Electrical Issues: Electrical issues are common in Dodge Chargers due to worn-out wiring harnesses. The wiring harnesses can wear out over time due to stress or corrosion on the wires themselves, causing them to break down and fail.
- Noises When Turning: Squeaking while turning is a common problem in Dodge Chargers. This problem occurs when making a sharp turn and hearing a squeaking sound coming from the car's steering rack. The cause is typically due to worn parts or loose bolts on the vehicle's steering rack or suspension system.
- Musty Odor in AC System: A musty odor in the AC system is also common among Dodge Chargers. The most common cause of this problem is a clogged cabin air filter, which can be easily fixed by removing it and cleaning it with soap and water before reinstalling it back into place.
- Difficulty Filling the Fuel Tank: One of the most common Dodge Charger issues reported by actual owners is difficulty filling the fuel tank. The problem stems from a faulty gas emissions sensor when trying to fill up the tank. To resolve this, replace the gas emissions sensor with one that fits correctly.
- Leaks from Differentials and Axles: Leaks from differentials and axles are common problems reported by actual owners of this vehicle. Rear differential and axle seals are prone to leaks due to wear and tear over time. This can cause fluid loss in certain areas of the vehicle's drivetrain system.
- Automatic Transmission Leaks: One of the most common problems with automatic transmissions is leaks from the electrical connector. This can cause fluid loss and damage to the transmission.
- Power Window Failure: Many Dodge Charger owners have reported that one or more of their power windows have become inoperative. This problem is often caused by a failure of the window motor or a broken cable in the regulator mechanism. To fix this problem, the window motor and regulator may need to be replaced as an assembly.
It's important to note that not all Dodge Chargers will experience these problems, and many owners have reported having trouble-free vehicles. However, being aware of these common issues can help potential buyers make informed decisions when purchasing a used Dodge Charger.

- VIN: 2C3CDXHG4KH
- Components: AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I own a 2019 Dodge Charger, and it has an open recall for the airbag inflator, which poses a serious safety risk. Despite the recall being issued over six months ago, replacement parts are still unavailable. Due to this safety concern, I am unable to drive my vehicle far from home, significantly impacting my usage. Additionally, I used to rent this vehicle on Turo to generate income, but it has been delisted from the platform because of the unresolved recall. I am still responsible for monthly loan payments of $420 and insurance payments of over $400 every month which is causing me financial loss without the ability to safely operate or rent out my car. I have contacted dealerships multiple times, but the parts continue to be delayed with no estimated resolution.

Dodge Charger 2018
- Date Of Incident: 2022-03-22
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-13
- VIN: 2C3CDXHG2JH
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The Uconnect screen in my 2018 Dodge Charger SXT Plus began to delaminate, leading to unresponsiveness and phantom touches on the screen. This created a distraction while driving and impacted the use of essential vehicle controls, such as navigation, climate settings, and the backup camera was completely non-functioning. At the dealer I was initially quoted a price over $2,000 and I know from researching the internet many many many others have had this issue. I contacted both Chrysler and a local dealership. The dealership at my 2nd visit replaced the screen for free under a goodwill repair, and Chrysler also contacted me later promised to get the issue resolved if the dealership could not help me. I am reporting this issue because it is a significant defect that could affect the safety and functionality of the vehicle.

Vehicle year: 2020
The car has great handling performance, and the adaptive suspension and 305 wider tires and spaced offset inspire more speed in corners than the previous scatpack. The 6.4 392 cu/in with mds 4 cyl mode allows for a combined 15-16 mpg on the highway and in the city. The interior panels have been changed since recent years, which suffered from peeling panels, and the new material feels like a significant improvement. If you plan to use GPS, Android Auto/Apple Car Play is needed with your phone to use navigation instead of purchasing navigation in your model. The Scatpack Widebody has few models made, and it is currently in high demand even given these current times with COVID-19 and potential markets crashing. Overall, Dodge continues to sell high-performance vehicles at an incredible price point compared to other competitors looking for performance sedans. Soon, the full wave of economy-efficient vehicles with hybrid systems or plug-ins will eventually take over, so enjoy them while you can!

Vehicle year: 2019
Hi there! I'm a travelling salesman and I've had the pleasure of driving both a Chevy SS and a Charger. While both cars offer similar comfort, I have to say that I prefer the Charger. It's a great value for the money and offers a lot of performance. Although the SS has some extra features and a higher sticker price, I don't see any extra performance that justifies the cost. While professional auto testers may prefer the SS, my personal experience tells me that the Charger accelerates harder and inspires more confidence in corners. The Charger also has more comfortable seats for long drives, although wider people may prefer the SS seats. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Charger gets better mileage on the highway, but the SS is more consistent in city driving. Overall, I think the Charger is a great buy and I'm happy with my purchase. The only downside is that it doesn't have some of the features that the SS has, like the heads up display and spare tire, but those are minor annoyances. Thanks for reading!For some reason, Dodge placed the small high beam indicator light in a spot where it is often hidden by the tach needle. Although it may seem like a small issue, it can be quite annoying. Another inconvenience with the Charger is the automatic door locks. On a nice day, driving with the windows down is a must, if only to listen to that wonderful engine. However, if you like to rest your arm on the window sill, the front door locks can pinch you when they activate. The SS has the same automatic door locks, but they are positioned slightly differently, so they won't pinch you when they activate. Despite these minor issues, I find driving the Charger more enjoyable. After all, driving enjoyment is the reason why cars like the SS and Charger exist. For those who consider driving a necessary evil, there are plenty of other fine transportation options available for less money and operating costs. As for me, I'm already thinking about how to get a Charger when it's time for the company to trade my SS. Update 18 months down the road... not a single problem or issue. It's still my favorite car to drive. This car has the optional LED headlights, which are really good. I never realized how bad the headlights were on our previous car until we got this one. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing in the original review. When my wife bought this car, I did wonder whether the long-term reliability of a Chrysler product could be trusted. So far, the answer has been a resounding YES. Update #2 at 24 months, the car is still solid and tight. There hasn't been a single malfunction or need for unscheduled service. American cars should be built this well. I do wish we had ordered tinted windows since we ordered a dark color and the interior is black. If you park in the sun a lot, it's something you might want to consider. On the plus side, the color called maximum steel manages to be dark but not show dirt like a black car.Not sure how they pulled that off, but the car never really looks dirty even when it is. Driving enjoyment hasn't faded one iota. We've put on some highway miles in the past months and the highway fuel mileage is amazingly good for such a powerful car. In normal around-town driving, the car is a bit of a gas guzzler. Still, we would be willing to buy another one, but there is no need to as this has been such a good car thus far. Update #3: Due to moving to an area that requires more frequent travel off of paved roads, my wife decided to replace the Charger with a Jeep. The Charger is not a good choice for unpaved roads. Our 3+ years of ownership was a revelation. Like a lot of buyers, we were leery of Chrysler build quality. After 60k miles, the car is still tight and trouble-free. I don't know if our experience is typical, but we consider it the best-built car we've ever owned - and that experience includes Toyota, Honda, and Mercedes. One other unexpected bonus: we got more than the original sticker price in trade for the Jeep. This might be due to the car shortage, but these cars appear to hold their value really well.

In cold weather, the car still starts but there's no heat, no radio, and the gear shifter won't move. Additionally, the passenger side front power window occasionally quits working. Although it's definitely fun, it can be a financial drain. While it may have a lifetrain powertrain warranty, it's not worth the hassles. Overall, this is not a car that I would keep.

Vehicle year: 2016
This car is fantastic! It's incredibly comfortable and speedy with its AWD 300HP V-6, and I'm averaging about 24-MPG overall. I absolutely adore the retro style cues, and the seats are firm, giving it a real sports car feel. Even driving in bad weather is a breeze - in the last 6 years of snow, it's never let me down. I have absolutely no regrets about my choice. The dealer support has been amazing, even after the sale - I couldn't ask for more. We've taken several vacations in it, and it's a very comfortable road car, still averaging about 30-mpg on the highway. With gas prices on the rise, it was definitely a smart choice. Even with 85,000+-mi on the clock, it's still running like a dream. I've replaced the battery (2021) and thermostat (2022), and I keep the tires rotated. So far, so good!

This car has been amazing for the past 3 years! It's quick, agile, and comfortable. Although it's not your typical old school marshmallow car, haha. I've owned many cars over the years, and this one is definitely my favorite. I'm partial to Mopar, but I've also enjoyed some GM and Ford cars (although they're my least favorite), and I find foreign cars to be overrated and overpriced. People tend to run them into the ground and still expect top dollar for them, which is not my cup of tea. Anyway, I highly recommend this car! I've driven it up to 115 mph, and it feels like 70. It's very stable and quiet. It has never left me stranded, but of course, all cars need maintenance and care. Personally, I only use full synthetic oil and change it every 7-8k miles. I don't even have to add any in between changes. Currently, I'm at 62k miles, and the car is still running strong!
Are you having problems with your Dodge Charger?
Tremaine Cummerata 2025-03-23

This full size car has a great appearance, however, it has experienced some issues. The front end has proven to be weak, even with careful driving. Some repairs were necessary, such as new tie rods and tension struts before 50k miles. Additionally, there were some malfunctions with the blinkers and clock spring in the steering wheel. The HVAC recirculation door also broke and became stuck on recirculate, causing it to fog up when cold. Fortunately, there were two recalls for an airbag and ignition, which were addressed. It is worth noting that we purchased the dealer extended warranty, which provided peace of mind.

I used to love my Dodge Charger with the Hemi engine, but unfortunately, it had some issues. Last year, while driving, I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood. I immediately pulled over and opened the hood, only to find out that a piston had ceased and I needed a new engine. I was quoted $7k for a rebuilt with warranty and $3200 for a used engine, which was frustrating. Despite taking good care of my car, the engine still failed at 120,000 miles. After researching online, I found out that many other Dodge Charger owners had similar experiences and complaints about the engine design. I contacted Chrysler directly, but unfortunately, they were unable to help me. If you're considering buying a Dodge Charger, I would recommend checking out online reviews and purchasing an extended warranty. It's important to be aware of the potential issues with the engine design. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I can totally relate to your experience with this car. It has always been a dream car for me and I have always admired people driving it. The car looks so symmetrical and powerful with attention to luxury that it drives me crazy. When I finally purchased my own vehicle, it was everything I ever wanted. However, I must admit that I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Unfortunately, I was spending more money fixing the vehicle than modifying it. It wouldn't last more than an average of 6 months until it needed another trip to the mechanic for major issues. Despite this, the car did great in delivering that masculine classy look style I was going for. It's just that it wasn't a very reliable vehicle, which was saddening because I was so disappointed that I had to trade it in.
Alexys Rogahn 2025-02-27

This is a great performing car! I was initially attracted to it because of its head-turning ability. The interior is spacious and comfortable, and the acceleration is fantastic. While the handling could be improved, it's important to remember that it is a large sedan. The safety features are wonderful, and all the controls and physical buttons are easy to use. It's very simple and easy to learn. Although the interior is aging fast and some of the plastics are starting to rattle, the dealership has been great in providing warranty service. At around 50,000 miles, I began to have engine misfires due to solenoids, and at 56,000 miles, my water pump completely failed, causing overheating and coolant spillage. Despite these issues, I still love this car and really wanted to keep it for the long haul. However, I think the Dodge shortcuts are becoming more visible with time.

I drive an SXT and I absolutely love it! It's such a fun car to drive and it handles really well, especially considering its size. It's also incredibly spacious and comfortable, which is perfect for my 6'5
