What NHTSA data shows for Dodge
Across the 19 Dodge models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 134,921 owner complaints on file and 610 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are electrical system (17,554), transmission and drivetrain (12,782), air bags (9,878). The Dodge Durango has the most complaints of any Dodge, with 19,276. Data as of 2026-10-12.
Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is electrical system, read our guide to selling a car that doesn't run before you take an offer.
