AT JUST 53,000 MILES IT IS DISCOVERED THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY ON MY THREE-YEAR OLD VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY OVERHAULED.

AFTER RESEARCHING THE MATTER FURTHER ON THE WWW IT IS OBVIOUSLY THAT STEERING ISSUES ARE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN DODGE INTREPIDS AND THEY POSE SERIOUS SAFETY RISKS. I IMPLORE YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE YOU DO. FOR MORE IN…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
