1995 DODGE STRATUS — Complaint #630853
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM filed July 17, 2007
NHTSA complaint #630853 (ODI reference 10196632) concerns a 1995 DODGE STRATUS and was filed on July 17, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 1, 2007. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:drum, 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 STRATUS cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:drum 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 1995 DODGE STRATUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
