Which years to avoid

  • 2019 (2019): First year of the new generation plus eTorque debut — more TSBs than the years after.
  • 2016 (2013–2016): Air suspension failures on equipped trims and early 3.6 Pentastar issues; also check the cam/lifter health on Hemis.
  • 2015 (2013–2016): Air suspension failures on equipped trims and early 3.6 Pentastar issues; also check the cam/lifter health on Hemis.
  • 2014 (2013–2016): Air suspension failures on equipped trims and early 3.6 Pentastar issues; also check the cam/lifter health on Hemis.
  • 2013 (2013–2016): Air suspension failures on equipped trims and early 3.6 Pentastar issues; also check the cam/lifter health on Hemis.

What to check before you pay

  • 5.7L Hemi: lifter and camshaft wear ('Hemi tick') — a consistent tick that changes with RPM is the warning
  • Air suspension (2013+ optional): compressor and air spring failures — test all height modes
  • Exhaust manifold bolts breaking on Hemis: ticking at cold start that fades when warm
