| 2001 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR | AT 10,500 MILES, TRUCKS BEGAN JITTERING AND SHAKING REALLY BAD. UPON INSPECTING FRONT ROTORS, MAJOR SCARRING HAD OCCURRED. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 11,106 MILES. WARRANTY LIKELY WILL NOT COVER REPLACEMENTS WHEN THESE FAIL, AS ALL RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THEY WILL. DODGE NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY ROTORS, AS THEY ARE A HAZARD TO NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT ALSO WHOEVER MAY BE NEAR ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. DEALER STATED THAT THEY KNEW OF NO OTHER DAKOTA'S WITH THIS PROBLEM.*AK (TIRESIZE: 16) |
| 2003 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AND SLID INTO A GUARD RAIL.

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES AND DID NOT NEEDED TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED. *JB |
