2011 DODGE CHARGER
This model year
What the record shows
The 2011 Dodge Charger is a large car, and the 42nd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1970 to 2027.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 3.6-litre six-cylinder to 5.7-litre eight-cylinder, rear-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic 5-spd and running on midgrade gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 19 to 21 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 693 owner complaints, 11 safety recalls and 108 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
