2014 Dodge Charger mileage at failure

235 of the 343 complaints on file for the 2014 Dodge Charger give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Electrical SystemMedian 50,000 milesMiddle half 30,000–80,000 milesBased on 74 complaints
EngineMedian 60,000 milesMiddle half 30,000–100,000 milesBased on 47 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.
