Look — Dodge's tire-related story is well-documented in the NHTSA file, and it ain't pretty. 437 complaints across 46 year-model entries from 2005 to 2015. Not a small number. Complaints are spread across the lineup with no single year carrying the load. That tells you it's a platform pattern, not a fluke. 9 injury reports on the record — not a category to wave off. Repair cost runs around $150 on average — relatively low for an aggregated category. Across the 221 complaints reporting odometer mileage, the median failure lands at about 37,438 miles. Drive it across the conditions it will actually see — heat, cold, highway, stop-and-go. Pattern complaints surface under load, not in the dealer parking lot.
