Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1972 P200.
The 1972 Dodge P200 represents a conventional midsize sedan built on the standard platform of its era, equipped with the typical powerplant of the time. In its production year it accumulated only a single owner‑reported complaint, which centered on the fuel system and gasoline delivery, and it was subject to two recall campaigns. This limited complaint record and modest recall count place the 1972 model at the lower end of the P200’s reliability trajectory, suggesting that while generally dependable, it exhibited early‑year vulnerabilities in its fuel system.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 1972 Dodge P200 dominate in one area — the fuel system, gasoline, 1 of 1 reports (100%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the fuel system, gasoline, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the fuel system, gasoline pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
