2018 Dodge Challenger — 6.4L

The Challenger generation shows a clear downward trend in federal complaints from early highs—peaking at 298 in 2010 and remaining elevated through 2012—toward far lower volumes in the mid- to late-2010s. The 2018 model sits in this later low-complaint arc, posting 74 complaints, four recalls, and one investigation, which represents a modest increase from 2017’s 49 complaints and three recalls but remains well below the generation’s peak activity. Technical service bulletins for 2018 totaled 254, up from 194 in 2017 though below 2019’s 314, while the top complaint categories were “Unknown Or Other” and “Electrical System” at 14 reports each; the data does not specify root causes for these. Crash and fire complaints for the year totaled nine and two, respectively, with 2019 subsequently dropping to 57 complaints and three recalls. Because 2018 falls within the generation’s matured, lower-volume phase rather than its troubled early years, it presents as a comparatively favorable used purchase, contingent on confirmation that all four recalls have been completed.
