Vehicle report
1985 DODGE OMNI
This model year
What the record shows
The 1985 Dodge Omni is a compact car, and the 8th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1978 to 1990.
The EPA rated twelve configurations: engines from 1.6-litre four-cylinder to 2.2-litre four-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, three transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 20 to 30 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 1 owner complaint for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
