NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD filed April 16, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558476 (ODI reference 11196757) concerns a 2016 DODGE CHALLENGER and was filed on April 16, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 1, 2018. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:windshield, 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
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 CHALLENGER cohort independently describe similar visibility:windshield 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 2016 DODGE CHALLENGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
