2001 DODGE DURANGO — Complaint #422083
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM:SPRINGS/BAGS filed July 31, 2003
NHTSA complaint #422083 (ODI reference 10031738) concerns a 2001 DODGE DURANGO and was filed on July 31, 2003. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 28, 2003. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:springs:air suspension system:springs/bags, 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 DURANGO cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:springs:air suspension system:springs/bags 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 2001 DODGE DURANGO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
