Inherited terms
Factory terms this model inherits from Dodge
- Basic
- 3 years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain
- 5 years or 60,000 miles
Confirm against your VIN. The clock starts at first sale. Terms vary by model year, trim and market.
The terms are filed by brand, not by model, so a particular trim or market may differ. The Dodge drawer has the worked example.
Model-year rows
Dodge Dart, year by year
Example columns only. The odometer column assumes 12,000 miles a year from the model year to 2026. The calendar columns assume the car was first sold during its model year; a car sold earlier or later moves both. The record links go to Click 4 Coverage, the advertiser.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 156,000 | 2016 | 2018 | 2013 record |

Federal file · recalls
Recall campaigns
8 distinct NHTSA recall campaigns name this model across the 4 model years in the file, or 2.0 per model year.
A recall is a free repair the maker performs. The count is not a defect rate and is not adjusted for how many cars were sold. Whether a given car has had its recall work done is answered by a VIN lookup on the federal recall site.
Campaign numbers: 14V800000, 15V542000, 15V800000, 16V113000, 16V813000, 17V824000, 19V293000, 25V674000.

Federal file · complaints
Most-reported components
1,444 complaints on file for this model across the model years in the file.
Self-reported safety complaints, not adjusted for sales volume, and not verified by NHTSA as defects. Counted by distinct complaint number; one complaint can name several components, so the rows add up to more than the total. Complaint counts tend to rise after a recall is announced. A component named often is where owners reported problems, not a measured failure rate.
| Component (as NHTSA names it) | Complaints |
|---|---|
| Power Train | 531 |
| Engine | 362 |
| Electrical System | 293 |
| Unknown Or Other | 262 |
| Service Brakes | 174 |
| Steering | 70 |
| Vehicle Speed Control | 67 |
| Air Bags | 57 |

Dodge Dart years to avoid? The complaint count by model year
Within this model only, the model years with the most self-reported safety complaints on file: 2015 (528), 2014 (372), 2013 (285). This ranks years of one model against each other and is not adjusted for sales volume. Newer model years have had fewer years on the road in which to collect complaints, and a year showing zero means no complaint in the file matched that model year under the strings used. Read it as a record, not a verdict.
| Rank | Model year | Complaints |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2015 | 528 |
| 2 | 2014 | 372 |
| 3 | 2013 | 285 |
| 4 | 2016 | 259 |
