Complaint
1997
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
BALL JOINT FAILURES: TRUCK FAILED STATE INSPECTION DUE TO DEFECTIVE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS OR BALL JOINT AND LOWER CONTROL ARM. ANOTHER BALL JOINT HAD BEEN REPLACED THE PREVIOUS YEAR. ALL DEFECTS OCCURRED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE DAKOTA AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON DOZENS OF INTERNET SITES, BLOGS, ETC AND ALL MECHANICS AND STATE INSPECTORS ALL NOD KNOWINGLY ABOUT THE DODGE PICKUP. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AND FAILURE OF BALL JOINTS IS NOT A PROBLEM IN ALMOST ANY CAR EXCEPT CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. HOW DO THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND CRASHES AND AT UNDER 50,000 MILES. IT IS TIME NHTSA FORCES DODGE TO RECALL AND REIMBURSE ALL COSTS TO THOSE ALREADY HAVING PAID FOR SUCH REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE APPLICABLE FOR ANY YEAR VEHICLE UP TO AT LEAST 100,000. I HAVE OWNED OVER A DOZEN VEHICLES AND MOST DRIVEN OVER 100,000 AND ONE AT 145,000 AND ONE 200,000 AND HAVE NEVER REPLACE BUT ONE BALL JOINT ON A 1970 CUTLASS. ONLY ONE HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH CV JOINTS BUT MAYBE NO BALL JOINTS HAD TO HAVE A CV JOINT REPLACED. THIS DOES NOT SPEAK WELL OF CHRYSLER/DODGE. *TR

STEERING:LINKAGES:ARM:IDLER AND ATTACHMENT
I PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA AND 6 MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE THE VEHICLES IDLER WAS JUMPING FROM 1 TO 3 AND THEN VEHICLE DIES. IT CONTINUES TO THIS. I HAVE BRINGING MY TRUCK IN TO BE SERVICED SENSE 11-2005 AND 2 MONTHS AGO I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING WITH CHRYSLER FOR THE LEMON LAW, AND THEY STATE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. TO THIS DATE NO REPAIR, VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION AND WAS RE-ENDED.
