Common 2019 Dodge Charger problems
The 2019 Dodge Charger has various common problems that owners have reported, including issues with the stereo system, freezing, a stability control warning light, and rattling noises from the suspension.
One of the most widespread complaints from 2019 Dodge Charger owners within the first 1,000 miles is the stereo system freezing. This issue is typically due to software problems and can be resolved with software updates. Most dealers will install these updates for free, while others may charge around $50 for labor.
Another problem reported by some 2019 Charger owners within the first 10,000 miles is a stability control warning light. This warning light can indicate that the car is losing traction, or it could be a sign of an issue with the sensor. Diagnosing the problem costs around $50, while fixing it can cost about $200.
Rattling noises from the suspension are another problem mentioned by Charger owners at roughly 35,000 miles. Suspension components wear out as the car ages, and will have to be replaced. Changing out the shocks costs around $600 for original parts, or there are high-performance aftermarket parts which cost over $1,000.
There are four recalls on the 2019 Dodge Charger, which is similar to other cars from the same year. The most serious recall is for the backup camera not working, and Dodge will update the software on affected models for free.

This car is amazing!! It's tons of fun and brings a smile to your face every time you jump on it. It's loud and powerful, but also has good controls and a very comfortable seating position. The ride and handling are excellent, and the intuitive controls and superb sound system make for an even better driving experience.

The car is not only super fast, but it also looks amazing. Additionally, it comes at a good price. It's definitely a great option to consider, even when compared to Chevy Camaros.

I began researching the Dodge Charger starting with the 2015 model. At that time, I had concerns about its reliability based on stories I had heard. However, I noticed significant improvement every year and the car started receiving great ownership reviews. When the 2018 model came out, I was pleased to see fewer concerns from owners regarding repairs and reliability. The selection of trims and add-ons also improved, providing excellent value for the package. In March 2018, my old car started costing me more to own than repair, so I decided to start looking for my dream car. I had been obsessed with the Dodge Charger for 3 years, learning everything about it, both good and bad. I finally purchased a Dodge Charger R/T in Granite color with the plus package, navigation and travel, and super track pack, which comes with the most awesome rims and hood scoop. I absolutely love the way I feel in this car. Not only does it look and sound fantastic, but it's also a joy to drive. I have owned it for a year now with no issues and excellent performance. I even love to do my own detailing on the car as it gives me great pride in ownership.

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.

I strongly advise against this product. It has caused nothing but problems. Fortunately, I am leasing and will be returning it next year. I highly discourage anyone from purchasing it. It is not worth the money.
Delbert Langosh 2024-09-21
I recently purchased this car brand new and overall, I am quite pleased with it. The interior is spacious and the stereo system is fantastic. The car also has great power and acceleration when needed. However, I have noticed that the door panels on all doors are peeling back from the window, which is disappointing. Unfortunately, there is no warranty or recall to fix this issue. While I understand that this is frustrating, I believe that Dodge is still a reputable brand and I would consider purchasing from them again in the future. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I drove a Charger rental, which I believe was the 'SXT' trim. Although the trim wasn't displayed on the vehicle or in the manual, I was impressed with its features. However, the vehicle's handling felt a bit sluggish, which may be due to its weight or the difference between my FWD Civic and a RWD Charger. Despite this, I found the car to be very good-looking and would love to own one in the future. Unfortunately, I experienced some mechanical issues while driving it. While driving my girlfriend home, I received a message in the dash to service the 'Traction Stability Control', which then changed to 'Service Trans' with confusing instructions for stopping the car. The acceleration changed drastically, making it difficult to move the car from a complete stop. I pulled off at a gas station and turned the car off, but it was telling me that it wasn't in park and I couldn't shift to reverse. I had to get a ride home since the car was practically immobile. As someone who has had zero engine problems with my Civic, I was extremely disappointed. I don't think I'll be driving a Charger again unless it's another rental that isn't my problem when it decides to break down.It's great that you're into cool-looking cars! However, I personally don't trust Chargers or Dodge anymore. I haven't had the chance to drive Jeeps or Chrystlers, but did you know they're under the same parent company? In the future, I'll stick to Honda since I've had great experiences with their reliable cars.

The car's weight seems to have affected its performance, with only 305 hp. However, the V6 engine can still achieve 27 mpg if driven carefully. The fit and finish of the car is almost perfect, but there is one issue that needs to be addressed. The electric power steering unit is located too low and can be easily damaged by small branches or road debris, which can render the car unsteerable. Unfortunately, there is no skid plate available to protect it. It is also disappointing that Dodge is going all-electric, without considering the public's desire or the future price of electricity. On a positive note, the Kia is a great alternative to consider.

I purchased a Dodge Charger about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I have experienced some issues with the vehicle, such as the panels under the car coming off. Despite this, I am confident that the issue can be resolved. Although the warranty does not cover this particular issue, I am working with the dealership to find a solution. I have heard some negative things about Dodge in the past, but I am optimistic that this issue can be resolved. Thank you for your understanding.
