How often should I come in for Dodge Charger differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Charger?

If your Charger has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my Charger malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Charger's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Charger.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Charger?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Charger. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Charger.

Does my Charger transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Charger’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Charger forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
