2005 DODGE SRT-4 — Complaint #624965
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM filed May 22, 2007
NHTSA complaint #624965 (ODI reference 10191433) concerns a 2005 DODGE SRT-4 and was filed on May 22, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 12, 2007. The vehicle had 18,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:carburetor system, 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, gasoline:carburetor system 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.
Complaint Description
PLEASE NO: I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND DRIVING IN SUMMER I GO TO NORTH CAROLINA. THAT IS WHERE I AM NOW AND CAN BE CONTACTED AT [XXX]. MAIL ADDRESS IS: [XXX]. GOOD MORNING. I DID NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS A PROPER COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, I HAD 18000 MILES ON THE 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AT ABOUT 15000 MILES I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHEN THEVEHICLE REACHED A SUSTAINED 60 MPH OR HIGHER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD MOMENTARILY STICK IF I RELEASED THE PEDAL & THEN REAPPLIED THE PEDAL FOR MORE SPEED. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. I WAS CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT BE ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND HAVE THE THROTTLE FAIL, SO I WENT TO THE DEALER THINKING THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED A NEW AIR FILTER , I DID AS IT WAS DIRTY. ALSO, THE THROTTLE HOUSING WHERE THE BUTTERFLY WAS LOCATED WAS CARBONED UP, AND THAT AT HIGH SPEED THE METAL HEATED UP AND EXPANDED AND THE CARBON AROUND THE BUTTERFLY WOULD CAUSE IT TO STICK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CARBON WAS INTO THE ENGINE AN
