Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1980 Arrow.
The 1980 Plymouth Arrow enters the reference books with a remarkably thin file of reported problems. According to available data, the model year accumulated just one owner complaint, which specifically targeted the seat belts, alongside a single recall. This minimal record suggests a vehicle that, in terms of documented reliability, left little for owners to report.
Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 1980 Plymouth Arrow dominate in one area — the seat belts, 1 of 1 reports (100%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 1 recall campaigns target the seat belts, 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 seat belts 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.
