Dodge Challenger & Charger Problems — Lemon Law Solutions

Recurring transmission system problems such as sudden lunging, stalling, and vibrating are just a few of the complaints we have heard from Dodge Challenger and Charger owners.

Dodge Challenger

Some Dodge Challenger owners have repeatedly taken their vehicle to a Dodge dealership for repairs of the following problems:

Loss of power with no warning and the “check engine” light comes on
The vehicle pulls to the left or right when driving
The vehicle shakes or vibrates when driving
The transmission shifts hard and/or jerks when shifting gears
The activation of the “Check Electronic Throttle” warning indicator
The vehicle surges when accelerating
The vehicle leaks fluid
The vehicle will not go into gear, or the gears slip when driving

The Dodge Durango, and the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel may have similar problems that cause vehicle owners to make repeated trips to the Dodge dealership for the exact same problem(s).

Dodge Charger

As with most of our lemon law cases, the major complaints we hear about the Dodge Charger involves the transmission or the engine. Problems such as rough shifting, slow acceleration, and delayed engagement.

Other issues Dodge Charger owners have reported included the check engine light that comes on due to a failed thermostat, and electrical issues.

Changes in the Dodge Model Lineup

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM were all a part of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles). On January 16, 2021 Chrysler became part of Stellantis when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) merged with Groupe PSA.

Fiat Chrysler announced the end of the Dart in September, 2016 and retooled that plant for production of the Jeep Cherokee — which has its own set of problems resulting in lemon lawsuits.

Common problems reported in the 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Some of the most frequently reported issues with the Jeep Grand Cherokee involved the transmission and engine:

Hard or delayed shifting
Transmission failure
Engine stalling
Check engine light

The Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger were discontinued in December 2023. The 2023 Dodge Charger is the last Charger with an internal combustion engine as Dodge moves towards electric vehicles with its Charger Daytona SRT.

California Lemon Law applies to electric vehicles (EVs) as well as gas-powered vehicles.

Under the California Lemon Law, electric vehicles (EVs) are equally protected as gas-powered vehicles. This legislation ensures that consumers have recourse if their newly purchased EVs experience repeated issues that substantially impact their use or safety. If you encounter persistent problems with your electric vehicle that impair its functionality or safety, knowing your rights under the California Lemon Law can help you seek resolution and potentially receive a refund or replacement vehicle.
