2000 DODGE STRATUS — Complaint #815037

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK VALVE/GAUGE filed September 18, 2010

NHTSA complaint #815037 (ODI reference 10356260) concerns a 2000 DODGE STRATUS and was filed on September 18, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 18, 2010. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:tank valve/gauge, 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 equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:tank valve/gauge 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 2000 DODGE STRATUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

MY CAR IS LEAKING GAS, AND THE FUEL NECK HAS RUSTED. APPARENTLY THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THIS PRODUCT AND I AM UNABLE TO GET IT UNTIL OCTOBER 30TH. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HE SAID THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WAITING ON THIS SAME PART AND THAT ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT FOR THE PART..MEANWHILE MY CAR IS LEAKING GAS AND UNSAFE FOR MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN...IF A PART IS VIA THE DEALERSHIP ONLY IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR INSTANCES JUST LIKE THIS! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET TO WORK? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY KIDS TO DAY CARE? I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I GUESS IF THE CAR BLEW UP BECAUSE OF THE GAS LEAK IT'D BE MORE OF A CONCERN! *TR
