NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
28%
16 of 58 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2019 Dodge Charger. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 28% of relevant complaints.
Better than 74% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 62 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 13%).
