2005 DODGE SRT-4 — Complaint #532401
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLING/CHARGING filed April 28, 2005
NHTSA complaint #532401 (ODI reference 10118607) concerns a 2005 DODGE SRT-4 and was filed on April 28, 2005. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 31, 2004. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:filling/charging, 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 SRT-4 cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:filling/charging 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 2005 DODGE SRT-4 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
