Dodge engine problems

Owners have filed 19,727 complaints with NHTSA about the engine on Dodge vehicles — 13% of everything reported about the brand, across 83 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge Intrepid, worst in 2000.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
