2022 DODGE CHARGER Complaints and Recall Information
The 2022 DODGE CHARGER has 4 complaints and 2 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues with the instrument cluster and steering wheel controls failing, as well as problems with rear camera glitches and an alarm system triggering unexpectedly. There are also complaints concerning unresolved alignment problems causing premature tire wear despite regular maintenance.
Common Issues- Instrument cluster failure. Power to all instruments on the steering wheel stops working before 40,000 miles without any abuse or collisions reported.
- Potential airbag risk. Instrument cluster malfunction could affect airbag functions linked to the steering wheel controls.
- Rear camera glitches. The rear camera intermittently fails, which sometimes leads to false alarm system activations during nighttime in secure garages.
- Alarm system malfunction. The alarm triggers unexpectedly at night without any apparent cause or intrusion.
- Alignment defects. The camber is off by about 1 degree due to control arms designed too short, preventing proper wheel alignment within factory specifications.
- Premature tire wear. Front tires wear unevenly and bald quickly, often under 10,000 miles, necessitating frequent replacements.
- Dealer visits ineffective. Multiple dealer attempts to fix alignment issues have failed, with no factory parts available to correct the problem.
Two recalls affect the 2022 Dodge Charger, addressing the transmission shifter assembly and tire pressure monitoring system. These defects impact drivetrain safety and driver awareness of tire conditions.
Recalls- Shifter assembly defect. (NHTSA Recall 22V866000) Affects 5,834 vehicles. The shifter assembly was improperly heat-treated, which can cause it to fail to engage properly in the "drive" position. This may cause the vehicle to slip out of drive unexpectedly, raising crash risk. Dealers will replace the shifter assembly at no cost. Owner notifications mailed January 17, 2023.
- TPMS sensor failure. (NHTSA Recall 22V808000) Affects 44,212 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor battery may fail prematurely and stop working, causing drivers to not receive low tire pressure warnings. Warning light failures can mask actual tire pressure issues, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace sensors as needed free of charge. Owner notifications mailed December 10, 2022.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs related to alignment, instrument cluster failures, or unresolved recall defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Such issues could affect vehicle safety and performance if left unaddressed by the manufacturer or dealer.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Risk: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Charger and Durango vehicles. The shifter assembly was not properly heat-treated, which can prevent the shifter from properly engaging in the "drive" position.
Risk: An improperly engaged shifter assembly may slip out of the "drive" position, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

ID: 2087817SUSPENSION
I am writing to formally express my concern regarding an alignment issue with my 2022 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody, which remains unresolved despite multiple visits to an authorized Dodge dealership. I have been meticulous about maintaining this vehicle, including performing regular 4-wheel alignments and rotating the tires at every oil change trying to remedy this issue. Despite this, the dealership recently informed me that the camber on the vehicle is off by 1 degree do to the control arms not being long enough when designed. Most concerning is that I was told there are no factory parts available to bring the alignment back within proper specification. Tires are being replaced with less than 10k miles on them for uneven wear on the insides of the front tires causing them too bald quickly. After multiple years of going to one dodge dealership that would state it was fine after an alignment, I finally got an answer that the control arms are short not allowing correct adjustments earlier this year and 30k miles later from another dealership. This has raised several issues for me as a customer who purchased a high-performance vehicle expecting both quality and support from Dodge. An inability to correct alignment within factory specs using OEM parts suggests a potential manufacturing or design defect, and I believe it deserves further investigation. I would appreciate your review of this matter and a response with your recommended course of action. I am seeking a resolution that ensures the camber can be corrected appropriately without compromising the performance, handling, or tire wear of the vehicle.
