| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: sir, i just read on the internet where chrysler is recalling the dodge dakota going along with the governments recommendation. i understand they are only going back to the 2000 models. well, i have an 1998 model that's going through the same things. the ball joints have gone bad the steering has gone bad. there's been a bad crunching coming from the front-end for over a year and no-one can find out what's making it. i'm getting scared to drive it. i've already spent a load of money on the front-end of this vehicle!!! i have been to the dodge dealers numerous times and they tell me there is no bulletins on these problems but you can go on the internet and check on complaints for the dakota and there are thousands on the front-end ever since they changed to the new body style. i don't know what you guys can do about this problem but i think you should, in good faith, make them reimburse or recall all of these vehicles having the problems not just the last 4 years. this is just a cop-out on their part to keep you guys off their backs. if you think there are not complaints just go on the internet and check it out. this problem began several years ago, not just in 2000. thank you -------- an answer to this e-mail would be appreciated. jim jerles . *ak |
