5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
For the 2020 Dodge Challenger, owner complaints spread across several systems with no single dominant pattern, though the electrical system draws the most reports. Owners describe a range of electrical issues including various component failures, while powertrain complaints center on clutch and transmission behavior, several owners of manual-transmission models report sudden clutch pressure loss, making gear changes difficult or impossible while moving. A few engine-related reports round out the powertrain concerns. Outside those top systems, isolated reports describe steering that locks up in cold conditions with a grinding noise, an air conditioning evaporator core leak causing the system to stop cooling, and a cooling fan failure that damaged the radiator. With only 20 total complaints on file for this model year, the complaint volume is low enough that most of these issues appear in just one or two reports rather than as firmly established patterns.
