Far fewer Too few recent reports to judge

NHTSA has received 14 owner complaints about the 2022 Dodge Charger, or 3.0 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical for a vehicle of its age (complaint index 0.07, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles).

Counts are normalized by time on the road, not by sales volume: a popular model generates more reports than a rare one, and complaints are not verified individually. How we count

Limited data: fewer than 30 complaints, so shares and indexes are unstable.

Complaints filed between 2023-01-27 and 2026-09-01. Median delay from incident to filing: 12 days.

Safety recalls (3)

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY Campaign 22V866000 · 2022-11-23

Summary: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Charger and Durango vehicles. The shifter assembly was not properly heat-treated, which can prevent the shifter from properly engaging in the "drive" position.

Risk: An improperly engaged shifter assembly may slip out of the "drive" position, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the shifter assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall ZB3.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS Campaign 22V808000 · 2022-10-27

Summary: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Risk: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB5. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-504.
