Is 75 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2018 and 2026, roughly 9 a year, which is about the same as 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 2018 has 75 complaints on file, more than the 2017 (49) and more than the 2019 (58). 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.
