Frequently asked questions
Which has fewer NHTSA complaints, the 2012 Dodge Dart or 2015 Dodge Dart?
2015 Dodge Dart has fewer raw NHTSA consumer complaints in this dataset (787 vs 1,533). This is not a defect rate and is not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold.
Does this mean the 2015 Dodge Dart is more reliable?
No. These are unverified consumer reports and recall campaigns, not production-normalized reliability scores. Use the comparison as one research signal and check a specific vehicle's history before buying.
These are unverified consumer reports and manufacturer recalls filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — not validated defect rates, and not adjusted for how many units were produced or sold. High-volume and older vehicles naturally accumulate more complaints. Use this as one research signal, not a verdict on any individual vehicle, and not financial, safety, or purchasing advice.
