Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

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 2019 Dodge Charger recorded 118 complaints, 5 recalls, 1 investigation and 334 TSBs, placing its complaint volume near the low‑end compared with 122 complaints in 2018 and 57 in 2020. Complaints had risen sharply from 2006 through 2013, peaked around 2011‑2013, and have been trending downward since, with 2019 marking a continued decline after that peak. The 2019 model’s top complaint categories were Air Bags (42), Engine (8) and Electrical System/Exterior Lighting (7), while fire and crash complaints were limited to 3 and 7 respectively. The data does not specify a root cause for any of these issues, so no definitive defect can be attributed. Consequently, the 2019 Charger appears to be a relatively stable year in an otherwise declining complaint arc, making it a reasonable purchase provided price and condition are evaluated.
