Owner complaints7
POWER TRAIN
Owners report several issues with the powertrain of the 2023 Dodge Charger. A common problem is a delay in transmission engagement, particularly when shifting from reverse to drive, with delays ranging from 2 to 4 seconds, accompanied by a noticeable thump. This issue is acknowledged by dealerships but remains unresolved, with some attributing it to fluid friction. Additionally, complaints frequently mention a "Service Shifter" warning, with some vehicles shutting off at high speeds or experiencing gear shifter malfunctions, sometimes associated with battery failure. These issues typically arise early, with some cases reported at approximately 35 to 83,075 miles. Safety concerns are noted, as the transmission delay could pose risks in traffic situations, and unexpected vehicle shutdowns could lead to loss of control.
Owner complaints3
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2023 Dodge Charger frequently report electrical system issues, specifically involving high-voltage faults and CAN bus voltage exceeding threshold limits. Common symptoms include the vehicle stalling unexpectedly without warning lights, infotainment system errors, and telematics communication failures. These issues typically begin around 17,000 miles, as indicated by one complaint. Safety implications are noted, with multiple reports of the vehicle shutting down while in motion and a drastic drop in fuel efficiency. Some owners express frustration with unresolved issues and lack of effective dealership support, which may be important for potential buyers to consider.
Owner complaints3
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Owners report several issues with the 2023 Dodge Charger. A common problem involves the windshield, where one owner describes a crack appearing after using the heater defroster, though no safety issues are noted yet. Another complaint involves the sunroof imploding while driving at highway speeds without any apparent external cause. Additionally, there are reports of the back-up camera displaying a washed-out image in daylight, attributed to the camera's quality and design, which affects visibility. These issues occur without specific mileage or timeline patterns, and while no crashes or injuries are reported, the sunroof and camera issues could potentially impact safety.
Owner complaints2
STEERING
Owners of the 2023 Dodge Charger report issues related to the steering system, with two distinct patterns emerging. One complaint highlights a distracting odometer display that switches between kilometers and miles, potentially leading to speeding and increased accident risk. Another owner describes a more severe issue where multiple warning lights, including ABS and power steering, illuminate, resulting in temporary loss of power steering and braking capability. This issue is reported to have occurred three times, with additional electrical malfunctions such as the dashboard going black and loss of window control. These incidents suggest potential safety risks, particularly due to the temporary loss of vehicle control.
Owner complaints2
SERVICE BRAKES
Owners of the 2023 Dodge Charger report issues with the service brakes, particularly the parking brake and front brake components. Complaints frequently mention that the parking brake pedal drops to the floor and fails to engage unless the vehicle is rocked, with symptoms appearing between 12,000 and 14,000 miles. Another issue involves abnormal vibrations in the brake pedal during deceleration, diagnosed as worn brake pads and rotors, occurring around 21,000 miles. Safety implications are noted as the parking brake issue is linked to a known recall for improperly adjusted brakes, though affected vehicles are not always recognized under the recall. These patterns suggest potential brake reliability concerns for prospective buyers.
Owner complaints2
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners of the 2023 Dodge Charger report issues with the vehicle speed control, specifically involving the accelerator pedal. Complaints frequently mention the gas pedal getting stuck or being delayed in returning to its normal position after being pressed. This has resulted in unintended acceleration, with one owner noting the car sometimes accelerates on its own at speeds below 20 mph. Both complaints involve crashes, one with another vehicle and the other with a tree, indicating significant safety implications. These reports suggest potential risks related to loss of control, particularly during low-speed maneuvers.
