📖Dodge Charger 2015-2019 Facelift: the supercar-slaying Hellcat four-door saloon era

Dodge Charger VII LD Facelift (2015-2019)

The dramatic 2015 facelift gifted the Charger a sleek, aerodynamically honed front nose and modern cockpit architecture, elevating it into a uniquely capable four-door super-saloon that challenged high-end executive titans such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class on pure performance per pound. With the introduction of the electrifying 707 bhp Hellcat supercharged V8 alongside the 485 bhp 6.4 392 HEMI Scat Pack, this generation set unprecedented standards for saloon performance. Rigorous Dodge Charger maintenance is vital to manage these colossal power and torque outputs safely.

Across the entire range, the standard fitment of the exceptional ZF 8-speed automatic (TorqueFlite 8HP) transformed throttle response and gear shifting refinement. While naturally aspirated V6 and 5.7 HEMI models remain remarkably accessible to service, the supercharged Hellcat demands dedicated care for its secondary intercooler coolant circuit, high-pressure fuel pumps and heavy-duty Brembo braking hardware.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Astonishing performance envelope, with Hellcat and Scat Pack models redefining full-sized saloon acceleration.
  • Standard ZF 8HP automatic transmission delivers lightning-quick upshifts and silky-smooth town driving.
  • Spacious five-passenger cabin and cavernous boot provide true family usability alongside muscle car speed.
  • Modernised interior with slick 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment and clear digital instrument cluster.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • ZF 8HP automatic transmission: neglected fluid changes or aggressive launch control use cause shift shudder between 1st and 2nd - check smooth actuation.
  • 6.2 Hellcat supercharger intercooler pump: auxiliary electric water pump can fail, causing intake air heat-soak and drastic power reduction.
  • GT AWD front drivetrain: front prop-shaft centre bearing and half-shaft CV boots degrade under steering angle - inspect for split boots and grease fling.
  • High-performance Brembo brake hardware: six-piston calipers and two-piece rotors are expensive to replace - inspect for rotor lip wear and pad taper.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change strictly every 8,000 km or 6 months on Hellcat models using approved 0W-40 full synthetic.
  • Engine oil and filter change every 10,000 km or 12 months on 3.6 V6 and 5.7/6.4 naturally aspirated HEMI engines.
  • ZF 8HP transmission fluid and pan/filter replacement every 80,000 km.
  • Brake fluid replacement and caliper slide pin inspection every 30,000 km or 24 months.
