I occasionally post about my experience with my 2012 charger awd 3.6 which i purchased new. So as we approach 10 years on the car and 105,000 miles to date other than normal maintenance (oil ,filters, etc.)and the factory recalls (alternator,air bag inflator,wheel chocks and trans reprogram) i have changed 1 tie rod end, a thermostat and 1 blend door actuator, so 100.00 in parts. Still have original battery, original brake pads, about due for tires this will be 3rd set so 55,000 on each set. No issues of any kind other then listed. Also this is a wisconsin car daily driver, and zero rust other than some light surface rust on the subframe which i sprayed with fluid film. So overall i would say i have been more than pleased !

Thats good to hear! My 2018 Charger 5.7 that I bought new has just about 95,000 miles. Has only been oil changes and a set of tires at 75K miles. This summer it will be getting the transmission fluid changed and coolant but otherwise I have been more than happy. No clunks but a few rattles in the rear package tray area in the cold ( I am in Wisconsin too). It creaks. I have the Harmon Kardon and with that rattle in the cold comes a rattle when the bass hits certain frequencies. Otherwise that is my only issue and am hoping for continued good luck. I would buy another tomorrow if something happened to it.
