Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 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 2014 Dodge Charger sits in a period of relative stabilization following the high complaint volumes seen between 2006 and 2012. With 342 complaints and 10 recalls, the 2014 model shows a slight improvement over 2013 (358 complaints, 8 recalls) but remains significantly higher than the 135 complaints recorded for 2015. Across the generation, there is a trend of increasing Technical Service Bulletins, and the 2014 model's 251 TSBs continue a climb that began in 2011. Primary complaint areas for 2014 include the electrical system (49), steering (29), and power train (28), though the data does not specify the root causes for these issues. Additionally, the record shows 41 crash complaints and 8 fire complaints for this target year. Because complaints dropped sharply in 2015 and TSB volume remained high, this is a mediocre year to buy compared to slightly newer models.
