Problem sheets
No single problem on the 2015 Dodge Challenger has enough owner reports for a sheet of its own yet. The counts below still cover every complaint on file.
Is the 2015 Dodge Challenger reliable?
The 2015 Dodge Challenger has 126 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, below the median of 205 for 2015 coupes on this site. Of the 9 Challenger model years since 2014, it has the 2nd most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2015 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- Two problems run close. Brake wear has 12 complaints and infotainment has 11, out of 126 in all. A quarter of the 9 owners who gave a mileage for brake wear saw it by about 13,000 miles, and half by about 37,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 21 of the 126 complaints (17%) 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), 16 reports mention a crash, 3 mention a fire and 13 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 8 of 16, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 6 recalls are on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against them.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2019 at 20 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 6. So far in 2026, 3 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

How this compares
126 complaints is 2.2 times fewer than the median 2015 model on this site and 1.6 times fewer than the median 2015 coupe. Among the 2 Challenger model years here it ranks 2nd 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.
