The 2012 Dodge Challenger with an 8-cylinder engine is known for higher oil consumption, which can lead to more frequent oil changes and potential engine damage if not monitored.

This model can experience camshaft wear, which may result in poor engine performance and misfires.

Timing chain tensioners may fail, causing the timing chain to become loose and potentially leading to engine damage if not addressed.

The engine might develop a ticking noise known as the "Hemi tick," often attributed to the lifters and the design of the engine.

The 2012 Challenger may suffer from coolant leaks, particularly around the water pump, which can cause overheating if not repaired.

This model can have issues with fouling spark plugs, leading to misfires and decreased engine efficiency.

The 2012 Dodge Challenger with an 8-cylinder engine is known for higher than average oil consumption, which can lead to engine wear if not monitored and maintained properly.

Some 2012 Dodge Challengers have experienced problems with the timing chain, which can cause engine misfires and potentially lead to engine damage if not addressed.

The cooling system in these models can sometimes be prone to leaks or failures, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Due to the high-performance nature of the engine, spark plugs may foul more frequently, causing misfires and reduced performance.

Faulty fuel injectors or fuel pump problems can occur, leading to poor engine performance or starting issues.

Some owners have reported engine knocking sounds, which can be indicative of deeper internal issues or the need for higher-octane fuel.

Premature camshaft wear has been noted in some 2012 Dodge Challenger models, requiring careful monitoring and possibly early replacement.
