Complaint
2002
STRUCTURE:BODY
2002 DODGE DAKOTA CLUB CAB P/U HAS SERIOUS WATER LEAK TO PASS SIDE FLOOR. DEALER HAS HAD INTERIOR OUT OF TRUCK 4 TIMES W/O FIXING PROBLEM. I AM PERSONALLY AWARE OF MANY OTHER DAKOTA OWNERS WITH SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MODEL WIDE DEFECT AND DODGE HAS NO INTEREST IN DEALING WITH DAMAGED OWNERS. COULD CAUSE ELEECTRIC SHORT/PROBLEMS AS WIRING/WIRING CONNECTIONS RUN UNDER CARPET ON THIS SIDE OF TRUCK. DEALER MUST HAVE KNOWN OF LEAK AND FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO INTERNET BUYER AND DID BEST TO MINIMIZE APPEARANCE OF DAMPNESS BY "SHAMPOOING" CARPETS FOR DELIVERY - VERY DISHONEST!!!!!!!!!*AK
