Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2015 Dodge Charger shows a marked drop in consumer complaints to 135, far below the 342 recorded for 2014 and the 182 for 2016, placing it at a low point in the complaint trend that began after the 2011‑2012 peak. Recall activity for 2015 is eight campaigns, which is lower than the 2014 total of ten but higher than the six recalls seen in 2016, indicating a moderate level of safety‑related actions relative to neighboring years. Investigations remained steady at two for 2014‑2016, while technical service bulletins rose to 328 in 2015, up from 251 in 2014 and 275 in 2016, suggesting an increase in manufacturer‑issued advisories despite fewer complaints. The data does not specify the root causes behind the complaints or recalls, so any interpretation of underlying problems must be avoided. Overall, the unusually low complaint count combined with only a modest recall burden makes the 2015 model year a comparatively attractive choice for a used‑car buyer, provided one reviews any applicable service bulletins.
