2012 Dodge Charger Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Charger’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Charger is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Charger's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Dodge Charger’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Dodge, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Dodge Charger transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Charger, potentially causing transmission problems.
