Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

ENTIRE DASH HAS CRACKED. HOLES NOW EXIST WHERE PLASTIC HAS FALLEN OUT, THE LARGEST BEING 12" LONG. SAW NEWS REPORT ON ORLANDO, FLORIDA CHANNEL WKMG REGARDING CRACKED DASHES ON DODGE RAMS. WENT BY DEALER (PARK CITIES DODGE IN DALLAS, TX) TO SEE ABOUT REPAIR. THEY QUOTED $600 MINIMUM FOR REPAIR, SO I DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THAT TIME. CALLED THE DODGE CONSUMER RELATIONS LINE TO SEE HOW THIS COULD BE RESOLVED. AS THE NEWS REPORT INDICATED SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR DASH REPLACED FOR AS LITTLE AS $100. DODGE PLACED ME ON HOLD, CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ULTIMATELY DECIDED THIS WAS PURELY A COSMETIC ISSUE AND WOULD NOT HELP AT ALL. IN ADDITION, HER DECISION WAS FINAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT A "COSMETIC ISSUE" IF I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ARE DODGE OWNERS IN FLORIDA. I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THIS REGARDING THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ADDITIONALLY, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEATHER AFFECTING THE EXPOSED WIRING UNDER THE DASH. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
