2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN — Complaint #1558589
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE filed April 17, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558589 (ODI reference 11196843) concerns a 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN and was filed on April 17, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 4, 2019. The vehicle had 90,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine, 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 GRAND CARAVAN cohort independently describe similar engine 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 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
