Dodge Charger (2011–2014): what actually fails

The documented failure patterns on used Dodge Chargers — the mileage window where each shows up, and what the repair typically costs at an independent shop. This is the same data NoLemon's Brief checks against every VIN.

TIPM & alternator electrical failures

Failures in the underhood fuse box (TIPM) and 3.6L alternators cause headlights that shut off, no-starts, and sudden stalls; the alternator drew a recall. Verify recall completion by VIN and scan for stored electrical codes. Flickering electronics or a weak crank is your warning.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the car is in or near the mileage window, price the $400–$1,500 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.
