2014 Dodge Challenger

: The vehicle’s steering wheel intermittently hardens or "locks" while in motion, making it extremely difficult to maneuver and creating a severe safety hazard. This issue remains unresolved despite two separate professional repair attempts. The first attempt cost $600.00, and the second attempt at a different facility cost $1,500.00. Despite a total expenditure of $2,100.00, the steering failure persists. The defect appears to be a systemic failure within the Electric Power Steering (EPS) or associated control modules/wiring that is not being corrected by standard repair procedures. The vehicle remains dangerous to operate.

Subject VIN sits in database as completed for Takata Airbag replacement completion during previous Passenger Air Bag NHTSA Recall; however, recent "Do Not Drive" warnings that include this year model now state that Driver Side Airbag has also been determined to now need replacement. Having been on the telephone for numerous telephone calls over this past week with Dodge's Takata Airbag Team, Dodger Service Departments, and NHTSA to inquire about what next actions I should take with the well-advertised "Do Not Drive" warning through a variety of media channels to include my 2014 Dodge Challenger have been frustrating at best. The ineptitude and inaction to move on this recall, reclassify vehicles as having an outstanding recall if both Passenger Airbags Assemblies (Driver- and Passenger- sides) have not been replaced. A requirement for the manufacturer (in this case, Dodge) to streamline complimentary towing of the unsafe vehicle to a dealership with a service department (while also ensuring respective Airbag assemblies are in repair parts inventory with technicians trained to conduct replacement maintenance correctly), and afford a complimentary temporary vehicle to use during day-to-day living until the reparations are executed to render the vehicle safe again and that vehicle is returned to the owner. The ineptitude to date by manufacturer (Dodge) and NHTSA to this juncture is unfathomable. All parties need recalibration and competency should be paramount in this safety crisis of the Takata Airbag debacle. Wake up . . . . immediately, if not sooner and get it all in one sock folks! The vehicle was taken to Southpoint Dodge in Austin, Texas under recall in March 2019 and had the Passenger Side Airbag replaced under the recall at that time; however, the Driver Side Airbag was not of concern when that recall was executed and the Driver Side Airbag is still stock from the manufacturing assembly line when the vehicle first became available for sale in late 2013.

On August 7, 2025, at approximately 11:30 PM, my 2014 Dodge Challenger caught fire in the trunk area where the battery is located. I had just parked at my location and was about to get out of the car when I noticed a strong burning smell and smoke coming from the rear. Flames were visible inside the trunk. The fire damaged the trunk interior, wiring, and surrounding components, but the battery still functioned afterward. There were no warning lights or prior issues before the incident. This poses a serious safety hazard and could have caused injury or further damage if it had occurred while driving.

The ABS system has failed on my 2014 Dodge Challenger SXT and has caused major electrical issues within the vehicle. The ABS part/computer module (part number 68210118AB) has been on back order for months with no estimate of when the part will be available from a Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep dealership. I have been without my vehicle for 4 months because nobody has this part available. This is a major issue affecting many vehicles under Dodge/Chrysler/Ram/Jeep. My safety was at risk because while I was driving the vehicle, every single light on my dashboard appeared and my brakes stopped working. Thankfully I was leaving my neighborhood and was only going 15MPH. The key fob is not detectable, the windows will not roll up, and the vehicle cannot hold a charge while in drive. There was an ABS warning lamp on prior to this all happening.

The Evaporative Canister was recalled for Dodge Challenger 2014 in 2021. The car was taken to the Chrysler Dodge Dealership and they confirmed the repair. November 2023 the engine light came on. Another mechanic completed a smoke test and determined the evaporative canister to be faulty. Both Chrysler Dodge Dealership and Chrysler Corporate office refused to remedy the issue, despite this being a recall. A faulty evaporative canister is a safety issue due to emitting additional pollution and adding to the green house effect.

I bought this vehicle after only having 28,000 miles on it required the water pump to be replaced. That should not be the case. The vehicle started running hot again after having the original water pump replaced about a year ago. At this point I had only put an additional 12,000 miles on the vehicle. Now the company that put the water pump on is saying I need a new engine on a vehicle that only has 40,000 miles on it. This should not be the case and I'd like the NHTSA look into this as a faulty engine from the manufacturer.

On 2/25/23 we started noticing the smell of gasoline around the 2014 dodge challenger, so we stated looking around the gas cap and down around the gas tank and noticed a small few drops of gasoline on the ground near the gas tank. But Didn't notice exactly where the leak was coming from the tank or around the tank. So keep an eye out over the next week then we started noticing a bigger drip mark. We are not driving the vehicle due to leak from gas tank for fear of explosion and fire. We sent the car to our mechanics to check it out . He said the tank was leaking due to being warped, this was not the first time he had seen this problem in the 2014 dodge challengers. He said we will need to replace the tank. We are very concerned with this problem, we enjoy our dodge and are considering buy a new one when the time comes, but will have to reconsider with this type of problem looming. So we parked the car outside and away from the house for fear of fire danger.

I was entering onto the highway and accelerating up to speed. When the car suddenly jerked multiple times, the vehicle did not accelerate, but the RPMs redlined. I then lost power while entering the highway. The vehicle would not restart, so I pulled onto the shoulder of the interstate. Almost being hit multiple times by other motor vehicles. I attempted to restart the car without any success. The vehicle was towed home to my residency, until I could have it towed to a mechanics shop for further diagnoise. The vehicle has not restarted in over 3 weeks now.

Oil housing adapter has failed and needs replacing. I went to two different shops (independent and dealership) that stated the part is made of plastic and has a tendency to fail. Yes my safety is at risk due to the fact the car can run hot at any given time. Yes the car has been inspected and no there hasn't been any warning lights. When I took the car in for another problem, the tech noticed that the part was cracked and needs replacing. I am not sure why Chrysler would make a plastic part this close to an engine and now it is causing problems for customers. The part is currently on backorder because so many have failed.

WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES WE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. SUSPECTING THAT THE FUEL ODOR WAS RELATED TO THE UB4 RECALL FOR THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER WE TOOK TO VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER SHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A CRACKED PLASTIC FITTING THAT CONNECTS THE FUEL FILL TUBE WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE REMEDY BEING REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AT A COST OF OVER $2600. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR IN AN ACCIDENT SO, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FILL TUBE ARE A POOR DESIGN AND COULD FAIL CAUSING EXTREME HARM. THE DEALERSHIP DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE CRACKED PART BUT I DO NOT HAVE COPIES OF THEM. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AT CHAPMAN CHRYSLER JEEP, LOCATED AT 930 AUTO SHOW DRIVE, HENDERSON NV 89014.

WHEN IN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL DIM, THEN THE ENGINE SOUNDS A LITTLE ROUGH FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. WITHIN A FEW OF MINUTES OF THAT HAPPENING, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF. IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I CHANGED THE AIR FILTER AND USED FUEL INJECTION CLEANER. HOWEVER, IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER. I'M WONDERING IF THE ALTERNATOR IS GOING BAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 3/5/2020

THE POWER STEERING FLUID EVAPORATES IN THE RESERVOIR (THE DODGE DEALER TOLD ME THIS AFTER I HAD THE FLUID CHECKED AND FILLED IN 2018 BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEM) AND CAUSES THE STEERING TO BECOME VERY RIGID WITH QUICK TURNING. I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN QUICK RIGHT TURN TO AVOID A CAR IN FRONT OF ME (LOCAL STREET) AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN AS I NEEDED. THE STEERING GROANED. THE STEERING FELT VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. I AM HAVING IT SERVICED THIS WEEK AGAIN TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.*DT THE CONSUMER HAD A SECOND OPINON WHO ADVISED THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. *JS

MY 2014 DODGE CHALLENGER DIES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. THE MOST RECENT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL ON A WINDING MOUNTAIN ROAD. IT DIED, AND THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. WHEN IT DIES, THE LIGHTS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALL QUIT. VERY DANGEROUS!!! THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THIS. LIKE ME, OTHERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS TO DEALERS, AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG! DODGE NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS MOST DANGEROUS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *JS

THE WINDOW HAS SMART GLASS. THERE IS A SENSOR IN THE DOOR WHICH ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO AUTOMATICALLY SLIDE UP OR DOWN ABOUT 1\4 OF AN INCH SO THE DOOR CLOSES COMPLETELY. ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO THE WINDOW BEGAN SLIDING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ACTING UP DUE TO AN OLD BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BUT THE WINDOW STILL SLIDES UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY BUT ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I HAVE TO LEAVE THE WINDOW ROLLED DOWN A FEW INCHES TO MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OLDER MODELS AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THEIR WINDOW SENSOR THE SAME PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED.

The PCMs are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Risk: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will either perform a software update or replace the PCM, free of charge. The recall began July 26 , 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U82, and U83.

Risk: If the alternator fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. There is also the possibility that the alternator may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
