Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
DBS may fail to activate during emergency braking situations, reducing stopping power and increasing the risk of collisions.
Engine misfire
V-shaped engines, especially with 8 cylinders, may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Overheating
High-performance engines like the 485 hp in the Dodge Charger can overheat if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Oil consumption
V8 engines may consume more oil, leading to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in V8 engines may stretch or wear out, causing engine performance issues or even failure.
Fuel economy
High horsepower engines tend to have lower fuel efficiency, resulting in higher fuel costs and more frequent refueling.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V8 engines can generate a lot of heat, potentially causing cracks in the exhaust manifold, which can lead to exhaust leaks and performance issues.
Cylinder deactivation system issues
Some V8 engines use a cylinder deactivation system to improve fuel economy, which can malfunction and cause rough running or engine warning lights.

Problems:

Engine misfire
A V-shaped engine configuration with 8 cylinders can be prone to misfires, which can be caused by issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Oil consumption
V8 engines, particularly from FCA, can sometimes have higher than average oil consumption, which may require more frequent oil changes and checks.
Engine knocking
The high horsepower (485 hp) can lead to engine knocking if lower octane fuel is used or if there's an issue with the engine's timing.
Cooling system issues
High-performance engines like the one in the 2020 DODGE Challenger can generate a lot of heat, potentially leading to cooling system problems such as radiator or thermostat failures.
Dynamic brake support malfunction
Although DBS is a helpful feature, it can sometimes malfunction due to sensor issues or software glitches, leading to unexpected braking or failure to engage when needed.
Exhaust system problems
The power output of 485 hp can stress the exhaust system, leading to problems such as leaks or failures in the catalytic converter or muffler.
Electrical issues
Modern vehicles with advanced features like DBS can sometimes experience electrical problems, which can affect various systems including the braking and engine management systems.
