2003 DODGE DODGE TRUCK — Complaint #511229
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:MARKINGS filed December 10, 2004
NHTSA complaint #511229 (ODI reference 10102599) concerns a 2003 DODGE DODGE TRUCK and was filed on December 10, 2004. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 10, 2004. The report was geocoded to Missouri based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:markings, 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 DODGE TRUCK cohort independently describe similar tires:markings 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 2003 DODGE DODGE TRUCK shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
