Dodge suspension problems

Owners have filed 11,926 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Dodge vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 81 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge Durango, worst in 1999.

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.
