This hub covers 8 Dodge model-years across 2 models: Charger, Durango. Across those model-years, NHTSA's databases record 2,236 owner complaints and 52 recall campaigns. The most-recalled is the 2013 Dodge Durango with 11 campaigns, while the 2013 Dodge Durango has the most owner complaints at 640. 3 of the 8 model-years earned NHTSA's top overall rating of five stars. Complaint totals are raw counts from the database and are not adjusted for sales volume, so they are best used to compare components and patterns within a model rather than as a league table between brands. Each model-year page reproduces the full underlying records: every recall campaign with its official summary and remedy, complaint counts by component, the complete crash-test scorecard, and EPA fuel-economy figures for every configuration.

Across the tracked Dodge range, 106 complaints report a crash and 71 report a fire, with 108 injuries recorded in owner filings. The most fuel-efficient tracked Dodge is the 2013 Dodge Charger, whose EPA configurations return a median of 21 combined MPG, while the most-complained-about is the 2013 Dodge Durango with 640 filings. Tracked years run from 2013 to 2021. Component shares are computed against the make's tracked complaint total; because an owner can name several components in one filing, shares can sum to slightly more than 100%. Use the component table to see whether a make's problems concentrate in one system — a pattern worth checking on the individual model-year page — or spread evenly across the vehicle, which usually reflects age and mileage rather than a single defect.
Models covered: the Charger (4 model-years, most-reported component: Electrical System); the Durango (4 model-years, most-reported component: Electrical System). The highest-rated tracked Dodge is the 2013 Dodge Charger at 5 stars overall for its tested variant. Where a model's most-reported component repeats across several of its model-years, the pattern is visible in the model-year pages' component tables — the clearest sign in this dataset of a systemic issue rather than scattered owner experience.
