Across the 6 Dodge Challenger SRT8 model years from 2011 to 2016 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 164 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2016 — 78 complaints, 2 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2015 — 126 complaints, 6 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2014 — 149 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
