2013 Dodge Charger: engine and transmission complaints
NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
33%
104 of 320 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2013 Dodge Charger. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 33% of relevant complaints.
Better than 66% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 47 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 28%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.
