At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, stalling, covers 26 of the 135 complaints (19%), and airbag is next with 17 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). A quarter of the 22 owners who gave a mileage for stalling saw it by about 32,000 miles, and half by about 56,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 20 of the 135 complaints (15%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 15 reports mention a crash, 5 mention a fire and 15 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 10 of 15, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- No recall on file is on the same system as stalling. For those, the complaints are all there is.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2015 at 24 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 3. So far in 2026, 5 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

How this compares
135 complaints is 2.3 times fewer than the median 2014 model on this site and 1.2 times fewer than the median 2014 coupe. Among the 2 Challenger model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
