Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Charger 6.4L.
The 2014 Dodge Charger 6.4L is a passenger car built on Chrysler's LD platform, pairing its 6.4-liter engine with a five-speed automatic transmission and returning EPA figures of 18 city, 27 highway, and 21 combined mpg on a 7.0-quart fill of 0W-40 API oil. Within the Charger model line's 2001-2024 complaint history, the 2014 falls well short of the 1,293 complaints logged in the peak year of 2006 yet carries its own substantial footprint of 342 owner complaints and 10 recalls, with electrical system issues leading the docket. Positioned between the model's earlier trouble-heavy years and the modern low-complaint era represented by 2024's single filed complaint, the 2014 serves as a useful midpoint for researchers charting how the Charger has evolved.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2014 Dodge Charger sits on the declining side of a complaint and recall surge that began with the 2011 redesign, where complaints spiked to 692 and recalls hit 11, then peaked at 14 recalls in 2012. By 2014, complaints had dropped to 342—less than half the 2011 peak—but recalls remained elevated at 10, and TSBs stayed high at 251, indicating ongoing manufacturer attention to emerging issues. This contrasts with the sharper improvement seen in 2015, where complaints fell to 135 and recalls to 8, suggesting the 2014 model still carried some of the generation’s early teething problems. The top complaint areas for 2014 are electrical system (49), steering (29), and powertrain (28), with 41 crash-related and 8 fire-related complaints, though the data does not specify root causes. While the 2014 is a better bet than the more problematic 2011–2012 years, its recall count and complaint volume remain higher than later models, so a 2015 or newer Charger would likely offer a more trouble-free ownership experience.
