Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had a warped rotor on the right front side 3 times now. it was turned twice, replaced once, and now it's warped again. i'm facing replacing the calipers and rotors upfront. i have heard several other dodge dakota owners complain about this, so obviously, they have a supplier that is not up to par. this shaking is dangerous - with abs, a wet road, and some clown pulling in front of you, the warpage does very strange things with the abs - and you really have to stomp on the brakes to override the abs feature. i've owned mopar products exclusively since 1981; i doubt seriously that i'll ever buy another one. *nm
