This page covers 3 recalls and 21 owner complaints for the 2025 Dodge Charger.
The dominant pattern in 2025 Dodge Charger complaints centers on the electrical system and propulsion. Owners most frequently report sudden loss of power while driving, including the vehicle displaying a warning to pull over and shut down at highway speeds. Several owners describe pressing the accelerator and getting no response for several seconds, with the vehicle requiring a full restart to resume normal operation. The fuel and propulsion system draws the next-largest cluster of reports, with similar symptoms of unexpected power loss and delayed throttle response. A handful of owners report persistent warning lights and multiple unresolved system faults appearing shortly after purchase. A recurring trunk latch issue is also mentioned, where the exterior release stops responding for extended periods, a problem some owners say has been acknowledged at the dealer level. One isolated report describes roof trim separating from the vehicle while driving.

By System
The 2025 Dodge Charger has 3 recalls, the most serious being a park function that may fail to hold the vehicle in place, allowing it to roll away after the driver has shifted to park and exited.
The instrument panel display can go dark due to a software error, taking with it critical readouts like gear selection and warning lights, leaving the driver without key information while moving. There is also a concern specific to the low-speed pedestrian warning system: a missing software update in the sound amplifier can prevent the vehicle from emitting any exterior sound at low speeds, meaning pedestrians nearby may have no audible indication the car is moving toward them.
