1994 DODGE INTREPID — Complaint #141884

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE:TORQUE ARM filed March 13, 1999

NHTSA complaint #141884 (ODI reference 704386) concerns a 1994 DODGE INTREPID and was filed on March 13, 1999. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 20, 1998. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:multiple axle:torque arm, 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 INTREPID cohort independently describe similar suspension:multiple axle:torque arm 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 1994 DODGE INTREPID shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
