Do I have to recheck my bag after going through customs if I do not get on my connecting flight?

You don't have to recheck your bags. Once you collect them and pass immigration, you are effectively "landed" in the US.
I would collect the bags, go to the rental place, collect my car and be on my way. 15 hours is a ridiculous layover time.

I've never come through Customs at CLT, but at every other airport, you can just collect your bags and walk out of the customs hall no problem. No one will inspect the bags and force you to recheck them.
To be clear, you are violating ticketing rules and contract with the airline, but this is otherwise a common practice.
As a side note, 15 hours is a long time and it's possible they might not accept bags so far in advance, especially if it's overnight, even if you wanted to re-check. I checked, aa.com presumably, and see the 4 hour rule for certain stations. CLT is not listed.
