2024 Dodge Charger problems, complaints & recalls

Far fewer Rising

NHTSA has received 24 owner complaints about the 2024 Dodge Charger, or 9.0 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical for a vehicle of its age (complaint index 0.21, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 89 model-year 2024 vehicles we track, it ranks #14 for fewest complaints per year. Against other Dodge models its rate is 30% lower; against other Sports & muscle cars it is 29% lower.

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 2025-04-05 and 2026-08-14. Median delay from incident to filing: 2 days.
