The contact owns a 1995 Dodge Dakota. The contact stated that the vehicle was unable to pass the state vehicle inspection due to the frame being corroded. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician verified the failure and stated that the damage was beyond repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 152,000.
About 1 year ago, paint started to blow off my 1995 Dodge Dakota. This truck has had no body work done and has suffered no damage. The paint is peeling in many places all over the cab and in a couple of areas has begun to rust. Paint should last more than 9 years and I am surprised that Dodge would allow such a problem for their customers. My vehicle is a 1995 club cab short bed 4X4 and is two tone blue and grey in color.
Right front of frame has cracked. Manufacturer has been notified. Consumer states vehicle experienced vibration in the steering, noise on the right side while driving over bumps or while curbing. The bushings and front sway bar were replaced along with the sway bar bushings being worn, dealer replaced the left and front bushings, consumer continued to have problems and was hearing a scrunching noise in the front end over curbing, dealer replaced upper control arm bushings and shock absorbers, the dealer also lubricated the suspension. A loose control arm rod was replaced due to a popping noise while turning. The cause of all the front problems was due to a crack in the frame located in the passengers side, inside frame, behind the front wheel. The left sund visor pin came loose, dealer replaced. Jlg
