Dodge transmission problems

Owners have filed 15,629 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Dodge vehicles — 10% of everything reported about the brand, across 79 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge RAM 1500, worst in 2005.

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.
