2013 DODGE CHARGER — Complaint #1408175
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:ACCESSORY SCISSOR/SCREW/BOTTLE JACK/LIFT filed September 15, 2017
NHTSA complaint #1408175 (ODI reference 11023703) concerns a 2013 DODGE CHARGER and was filed on September 15, 2017. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 16, 2016. The vehicle had 2,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Arizona based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:mechanical:accessory scissor/screw/bottle jack/lift, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE CHARGER cohort independently describe similar equipment:mechanical:accessory scissor/screw/bottle jack/lift failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 DODGE CHARGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
