    I am writing concerned with the length of time it is taking to get recall parts sent. I have been checking with dealership and was told I'm on waiting lists, the parts wouldn't be in until the beginning of year 2026, and now they just don't know when the parts will be available. If this is a SAFETY…

    My vehicle has been held indefinitely for 1 full year now because the manufacturer launched a safety recall on the transmission bushing cable for a second time since the 2019 recall without a viable engineering solution this time.

Owner-reported

2015 Dodge Dart mileage at failure

358 of the 531 complaints on file for the 2015 Dodge Dart give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Power TrainMedian 70,000 milesMiddle half 45,000–110,000 milesBased on 126 complaints
EngineMedian 50,000 milesMiddle half 30,000–85,000 milesBased on 111 complaints
Service BrakesMedian 55,000 milesMiddle half 40,000–75,000 milesBased on 51 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.
