2022 Dodge Charger — Known Issues & Recalls

Your car was involved in a crash, but none of the airbags deployed when they should have. This is a serious safety issue that needs immediate attention from a dealer.

Your 2022 Dodge Charger was involved in a crash at 60 MPH where the front passenger side was severely damaged, but the passenger-side airbags did not deploy. The driver was injured from the seat belt impact, which suggests the airbags should have provided additional protection. The cause of the airbag failure has not yet been determined, and Dodge has not been notified.

Your transmission shifter is displaying a service warning light and making unusual noises while shifting gears. You may experience difficulty moving between gears smoothly. The shifter mechanism or its electrical components may need inspection and repair.

You purchased a 2022 Dodge Charger that showed 49,000 miles at the time of sale, but when you registered it, the odometer reading was discovered to be 93,000 miles — a discrepancy of 44,000 miles. This suggests the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back before you bought the vehicle. You may want to consult with a mechanic or legal professional about your options, as this is a case of potential odometer fraud.

Your car has a defective weld on the fuel filler neck that caused a fuel leak, creating a serious fire hazard since the leak was located directly next to the exhaust system. You may notice a strong gasoline smell inside and outside your vehicle, and fuel may drip from the filler neck area. The manufacturer refused to address the issue despite the safety risk. Fixing this will require replacing the fuel filler neck with a properly welded component.

Your steering wheel controls and instrument cluster have stopped working, which may also affect your airbag system—all at under 40,000 miles with no accidents or abuse. Additionally, your rear camera occasionally glitches and your alarm system triggers randomly at night even when the car is parked securely in your garage. This likely involves a wiring or electrical connection issue in the steering column or a faulty control module that needs diagnosis and repair.

Your 2022 Dodge Charger's rear driver-side tire lost traction while changing lanes and turning, causing the vehicle to spin out and crash into a sidewalk, curb, and street sign. The vehicle had been inspected at a lower speed before this incident and also experienced a similar spin-out. The owner believes the issue may be related to the vehicle automatically switching to AWD mode while set in rear wheel drive, and suspects it's connected to known tire recalls. The incident occurred around 10,000 miles.

When you brake, your engine sometimes unexpectedly races to a high idle speed, causing your tires to spin and smoke. You have to shut off the engine immediately to stop it. This problem is intermittent and has happened at least twice, requiring towing to the dealer both times. The issue likely involves the fuel system, engine control system, or idle speed regulator.

Your 2022 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody has a suspension alignment problem where the front camber (wheel angle) is off by 1 degree due to control arms that are too short by design. Despite regular alignments and tire rotations, your front tires are wearing unevenly on the inside and need replacement before 10,000 miles. The dealership says there are no factory parts available to fix this to proper specifications, suggesting a potential design defect in the suspension.

Your engine surges unexpectedly when you apply light throttle in any gear or at any speed, making acceleration feel jerky and unpredictable. The dealership has reset your engine and transmission computers multiple times, which temporarily improves the problem, but it keeps getting worse. This surging is unsafe in parking lots where light throttle doesn't produce movement, causing you to press harder and then suddenly lurch forward. The fix may require a full diagnostic scan, fuel system cleaning, or replacement of engine control components.

Your car intermittently jerks or loses power while driving, especially when accelerating from a stop at traffic lights. The jerking happens more frequently when you're stopped and then begin to accelerate. A Dodge dealer inspected the vehicle but was unable to identify the cause. The issue may require diagnostic testing of the fuel system, ignition components, or engine sensors to pinpoint the problem.
