Is 149 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2014 and 2026, roughly 12 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2014 has 149 complaints on file, fewer than the 2013 (179) and more than the 2015 (126). Of the 13 model years of the Dodge Challenger we cover, the 2010 has the most (299). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
