105Dodge year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 26,877 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the electrical system than any other system: 9,030 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2012 Dart, with 1,081.
NHTSA holds 431 recall campaigns naming Dodge vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here. 2 defect investigations into these vehicles are open and unresolved. A death has been reported in 7 of these 105 vehicles.
Most complained-about Dodge models
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
What goes wrong on a Dodge
The systems named most often across every Dodge complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
