| 1999 | SUSPENSION | THE DODGE DAKOTA, 1999 MODEL, HAS A RECALL GIVEN TO THE BALL JOINTS THAT WERE INSTALLED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. I OWN THE DODGE DAKOTA, 1999 MODEL. ALSO MY BALL JOINTS HAVE GONE BAD LEADING TO UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. THESE ORIGINAL BALL JOINTS ALSO HAVE NO GREASE FITTINGS FOR REGULAR GREASING. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS REPLACING FAULTY PARTS GOING BAD ON MY DODGE DAKOTA. I WILL NOT CONTINUE. I EXPECT TO GET SOME KIND OF REPLY BACK ON HOW WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BALL JOINTS ON MY DODGE DAKOTA. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A RECALL ON THEM.

| 2001 | TIRES:SIDEWALL | SIDEWALLS HAVE SPLIT ON ALL FOUR TIRES WHICH CAME NEW WITH THE TRUCK, TWO WERE SO BAD YOU COULD SEE THE INNER SIDEWALL. THE GARAGE FAILED THE TRUCK ON INSPECTION, SAID THE TIRES WERE A SAFETY HAZARD. I DID NOT MISUSE THESE TIRES NO 4-WHEELING, NO HEAVY LOADS, NO CONSTANT LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL; WORK WAS 10 MILES ONE WAY. MY MOTHER SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON THE PHONE WITH GOODYEAR AND SULLIVAN TIRE (THE NAME GOODYEAR GAVE US AS THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALER). THERE WAS NO SATISFACTION BECAUSE GOODYEAR AND SULLIVAN INSISTED THEY COULD ONLY PRO-RATE THE TREAD ON A REPLACEMENT. THE TREAD WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!!! ALL FOUR TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THEY WERE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY MOTHER PAID $431.71 FOR FOUR NEW TIRES, WHICH IS LESS THAN $100 UNDER THE PRICE SULLIVAN WOULD HAVE CHARGED FOR FOUR NEW TIRES. THE TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE OF CHARGE! I SEE FROM THE COMPLAINTS ALREADY SUBMITTED THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES. GOODYEAR INSISTED THEY HAD RECEIVED NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS TIRE. THEY OBVIOUSLY LIED. DT |
