Problem overview

Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing issues with their vehicles not turning over and making a dragging fan-like sound, which may indicate starter problems. Additionally, some owners face repeated battery drain despite replacement, suggesting potential underlying issues such as a dead battery or alternator problems that prevent proper charging. Others have identified parasitic draws in the electrical system, which can drain the battery when the car is not in use, possibly due to faulty components or wiring. Fuel delivery issues, like a clogged fuel filter, can also hinder starting performance. Owners are advised to have the alternator and starter inspected, check for electrical draws, and verify the fuel delivery system to address these concerns effectively. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issues, seeking professional assistance is recommended.
