Dodge Common Issues
The most common Dodge problems
Problems solved during Dodge’s recalls do not usually determine the reliability of the vehicle itself. Even the common-recalled model can be a good choice, and vice versa.
It is good to know, however, what problems the manufacturer has recalled most often. At least to know whether the defect was corrected by the previous owner, when buying a second-hand car. You can check with your nearest Dodge dealer.
