2016 DODGE CHARGER — Complaint #1842163
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:INTERIOR PANELS:DOOR filed September 20, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1842163 (ODI reference 11485465) concerns a 2016 DODGE CHARGER and was filed on September 20, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 20, 2021. The vehicle had 70,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Connecticut based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:interior panels:door, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE CHARGER cohort independently describe similar structure:interior panels:door failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 DODGE CHARGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the front driverâs side door panel trim had separated from the door frame.

There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
