Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.

What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.

Owners filed 4,197 complaints with NHTSA about the 2011–2023 Dodge Charger, and 2,840 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.

Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 36,000 and 80,000 miles. The median is 55,000 miles.

The most-reported areas are the electrical system (29.4% of complaints, typically around 58,000 miles), the engine (9.2% of complaints, typically around 60,000 miles), the airbag system (8.7% of complaints, typically around 56,000 miles).

36 recall campaigns cover this generation. 3 of them carry a severe NHTSA advisory.

If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.

How many miles does a 2011–2023 Dodge Charger last?

Half of the failure reports on the 2011–2023 Dodge Charger were filed by 55,000 miles and 90% by 110,000 miles — figures drawn from 2,840 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.

7 reports (0.2%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Charger reached that mileage, not that it died there.

Before you buy a 2011–2023 Charger: the 3-minute check

Generated from 2,840 mileage-tagged complaints, 36 recall campaigns, 5 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

  1. A DO NOT DRIVE recall covers part of this generation. Run the VIN before you drive it home — the fix is free at any dealer.
  2. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 36 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
  3. Check engine on 2011–2013 cars. 3.6L Pentastar left cylinder head exhaust valve seat failure/recession causing a cylinder 2 misfire, ticking and loss of power; FCA replaced heads under a warranty extension to 10 years/150,000 miles.
  4. Check engine on 2011–2023 with 5.7L cars. 5.7L Hemi MDS lifter collapse and camshaft lobe wear, the same oil-starvation mechanism as the LX generation and still present through the end of production.
  5. Check transmission on 2012–2016 most reported cars. 845RE/8HP 8-speed torque converter clutch shudder, harsh 1-2 shifts and downshift bump, plus mechatronic/TCM faults; several TSBs issued for cold-start shift quality software. Behavior improved materially in later model…
  6. Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
  7. End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.

For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 36,000 and 80,000 miles, with a median of 55,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.

On inspection, the electrical system and the engine are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The electrical system in particular shows a median failure mileage of 58,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.

None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when

Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 55,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

The electrical system accounts for 29.4% of complaints (1,234 reports, 913 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 58,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 79,000 miles.

A single system taking 29.4% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.

The engine accounts for 9.2% of complaints (386 reports, 281 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 60,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 37,000 and 97,000 miles.

The airbag system accounts for 8.7% of complaints (367 reports, 158 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 56,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 35,000 and 85,000 miles.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 7.1% of complaints (296 reports, 197 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 54,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 26,000 and 82,000 miles.

Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 6.8% of complaints (286 reports, 144 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 50,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 30,000 and 73,000 miles.

The exterior lighting accounts for 6.5% of complaints (272 reports, 195 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 54,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 70,000 miles.

Differences between model years

Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2011 model year drew the most — 1,042 complaints — while 2022 drew the fewest at 21. The median year sits at 197.

That makes 2011 an outlier: roughly 5.3 times the median year of this generation. A single year standing that far apart usually reflects either a first-year issue that was later corrected, or a component change introduced for that year. Anyone shopping this generation has a straightforward reason to prefer a different year, all else being equal.

Recalls and what they cover

NHTSA records 36 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.

3 of these carry a severe advisory — NHTSA's do not drive or park outside warnings, which the agency applies only when it considers the risk immediate. If you own one of these vehicles, that is the first thing to check by VIN.

The campaigns cluster around the airbag system (6), the transmission and driveline (6), the electrical system (5). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.

Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.

Documented problems

Engine 2011–2013
