There are 3 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2019 Dodge Challengerin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
BRAKE LINES IN ENGINE BAY ON PASSENGER SIDE ARE ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING THE INSULATION TO MELT. THE MELTED INSULATION WAS FOUND BY MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO BOILING BRAKE FLUID AND RECOMMEND GETTING THIS FIXED AT DODGE UNDER WARRANTY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
My mileage time ometer keeps jumping from 56000 to 68000 time belt. My car is fairly new. This vehicle should not be doing this. The break I use to start the car nearly starts it. The breaks is not connected to the fuel pump correctly.
STOCK, FACTORY BUILT, REAR BRAKE PAD SURFACE AREA IS SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE REAR ROTOR DIAMETER. SWEEP OF BRAKE PAD IS SUBSTANTIALLY NARROWER THAN THE ROTOR. THIS IS CAUSING AN IMPROPER WEAR PATTERN ON ROTOR. REDUCES STOPPING FORCE AND WILL CREATE A RIDGE IN THE ROTOR. THIS RIDGE WILL MAKE FUTURE REPLACEMENT BRAKE PADS INCOMPATIBLE, AND COULD AFFECT BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE NEGATIVELY.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
