2023 Dodge Challenger owner complaints

ON 12/24/2025 I found a foot long stress crack on the passenger side of the windshield. I was a National Glass Association Technician for 10 years I can tell the difference between a stress crack and an impact crack. There is no reason for this 2023 vehicle to have a stress crack with only 38,000 miles. Apparently, this is an ongoing issue all one needs to do is google the condition to see there is a problem with these vehicles and windshield stress cracks. My concern is what is the underlying reason causing these stress cracks and is it a larger safety issue as I believe the manufacture most likely knows.

-The windshield cracked along the right passenger side with no visible impact points prior to entering the vehicle. -The windshield crack reduces visibility thus increasing the risk of a crash. -The independent service center that replaced the windshield stated that it was 100% a stress crack induced through the manufacturing process. No visible impact point was found after removal of the windshield. -The windshield has not been inspected by any relevant authorities such as the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. -No warnings, messages, or symptoms of the problem were present prior to the failure.

Have a crack in windshield on passenger side about half way up pillar. There is no places of contact just the crack like it’s from body flex and there are a lot of other challenger customers with the same issue

Within two days of owning the car the windshield cracked. I was backing out of garage and heard a sound, a crack appeared on the passenger side of windshield midway up. It extended horizontally approx 12" toward the center of windshield. Have heard multiple other customers have had the same issue.

Windshield - vehicle was parked in garage and windshield just cracked. 12" long, extends from driver side pillar inward. Driver line of sight. Appears to be a stress fracture, possible improper installation or defect in the glass.

Front windshield on the passenger side developed a stress crack. There is no impact mark and the crack developed while turning a corner. Hopefully this doesn't mean that there is a deeper issue with the frame. This is a common issue on this year and model specifically that many have been complaining about on online forums. The crack grew from 5 inches to over a foot long within an hour. Others have said this will continue to grow horizontally until it splits the glass in two. This is a huge safety risk for all of the obvious reasons which can be googled. Not to mention it makes the car legally undrivable until fixed.

I’m not sure if anyone has reported Dodge ( Challengers ) windshields unexpectedly without impact cracking. I’m seeing it a lot on the 2023 years my windshield cracked without impact, my brother also has a 2023 scatpack and his windshield cracked not even a week after purchasing the car. My cousin and uncle both have a 2016 and both windshields are cracked. I’m seeing a lot of videos on social media with people getting challengers and their windshields are cracked aswell there is no ways it’s a coincidence.

This make/model/year has many issues of windshield cracking. My car windshield was fine, no issues, I went to the garage to uncover it to drive and there was a crack among the passenger edge about 9 inches. I researched if this was a recall/known issue. No recall but many many issues amongst owners of this car, in the exact same location for no apparent reason. They are saying it IS a build issue. Window cracking in Dodge Challengers, especially 2023 models, is a widespread issue linked to potential body flexing/twisting from manufacturing defects, causing stress cracks in the windshield; it's often a factory/assembly defect, not just typical wear. Dodge will NOT fix my windshield, they state there is only a 12 month glass warranty. I purchased my car in May of 2024. It only has 3000 mile

Windshield cracked for no reason no scratches chips or damage but cracked from the A piller on the driver side.

I know this has probably been posted. Driving last night with the wife and I smell fuel. Then the gas gauge starts to drop from full to empty in less than 3 minutes. I pull over, the car shuts down. I see fuel on the passenger side , just in front of the tire. Get the car safely towed home. I pop the back seat and remove the access cover for the fuel pump. See picture. This is how I found the fuel line. The green locking tab was not locked. Even though theirs a green paint mark to confirm the fuel line is secure. Obviously not. The locking tab barely engages and is so easy to move to the unlocked position with no effort at all. Stellantis should be embarrassed that a vehicle left their plant in an unsafe condition. Either the locking tab was not engaged fully or in my opinion a terrible d

Passenger seat will not lock into place, even while driving or stationary causing concern as this becomes a safety issue.

When the manual cruise control or the adaptive cruise control is engaged, the speed setting is not displayed as indicated by the user manual of the vehicle. This provides a hazard when using the cruise control, as it creates a situation where you can engage cruise or adaptive cruise without knowing what the speed it is set to, and could potentially result in a collision. Additionally, when adjusting the speed setting of the cruise control, it is you can't see what the speed is adjusted to. This speed setting is displayed on older versions of the vehicle (I previously owned a 2019 challenger that displayed the setting). I have not yet taken the vehicle to the dealer, but have found multiple accounts online of other 2023 Dodge Challengers experiencing the same problem. It would appear t

I purchased a DODGE 2023 CHALLENGER SRT HELLCAT WIDEBODY JAILBREAK with manual transmission in October 2023. In April of 2024 I noticed that the AC did not work when the vehicle was NOT in motion and the OUTSIDE temperature was more than 90 degrees. I took it to a local dealer ship and they kept troubleshooting the vehicle with Dodge and could not fix the issue. Come to find out, all 2023 manual transmission Challenger Hellcats have the same issue. This is effecting approximately 628+ vehicles. Dodge Care states they are aware of the issue and are working on it internally, however no ETA or timeline has been given to the customers of the affected vehicles. Dodge provide me with the following case numbers that you can use to investigate: Case: [XXX] Star Case: [XXX] Their contact phone nu

I had recently had my backup camera/and radio repaired as they are synchronized to work together at a dealership. On [XXX] the issue has happened again, and it is available for inspection upon request. My safety, and others could be put at risk due to potential collisions. The issue has been reproduced, and confirmed upon the first incident of this happening at Capital CDJR Of Indian Trail, NC whom also did the first repair. At this point the vehicle has not been inspected as it started again this morning. The backup camera went glitchy, then said camera system not available, then went glitchy again. This occurred on [XXX]. This is my second time filing a complaint for this issue. Thank your organization for keeping our roads safe. I hope this issue doesn't have any negative safety inciden

I somewhat recently purchased a car from Capital Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Indian Trail, NC that is still under warranty. Less than a year old, a little over 5k miles. Recently my backup camera is saying not available or it is very glitchy, also trunk lid liner loose. This is my daily driver. Dangerous to operate, as it drastically decreases my rear visibility. Took it in a couple of weeks ago, waited over two hours for them to say it needed further diagnosis because they don't know what the issue is, or how to fix it They didn't initially offer me a car to drive as this is my only vehicle. When I said that I was contacting the NHTSA, FTC, NCDOJ consumer division, and the DOT, they said drop it off, we'll give you a car to drive. Now they are not responding to my calls or emails, after th

2023 Dodge Challenger was parked and not running. Opened driver's door and windshield cracked from pillar on passenger side. No prior stone chips, no prior cracks. Car had less than 3000 miles when crack occurred. Appears that windshield was not properly bonded to the vehicle. Paid Safelite $348.03 for windshield replacement.

Windshield cracking for no apparent reason. I do not know the underlying cause however there are many people reporting this issue on social media sites. Some suspect welding/bonding issues resulting in flex causing the crack under stress. My car was sitting in the garage when the windshield cracked from the A-pillar inward. All videos, pictures submitted from others show the crack in a similar fashion. Driver/Passenger side from the A-Pillar. Some have provided pictures/videos of brand new cars sitting on the lot with the crack. Others are on their 2nd and 3rd windshield replacement.

As described in the 05-001-22 bulletin, my brakes are making a clicking noise when reversing or turning at low speeds. A bulletin has been issued for every year except 2023 (my car’s year) for the same issue.
