I own a 1999 Dodge Dakota V-8 magnum 5.2L, it only has 138,000 miles on it. When I bought it it only had 76,600 miles. In that little time I have had to replace the upper and lower ball joints twice, and the rack and pinion, and the water pump, the thermostat, the power steering pump, the tie rods, and there is so much more wrong. Why am having to replace these things twice in such little mileage" after reading up on it through the internet I am not the only one with these problems, there are hundreds of people with the same complaints, why is there a recall on the 2000, & 1998 but not 1999" I am out so much money and have almost wrecked my truck twice because of these problems, once with 6 kids in the car with me and again with my 3 kids. This needs immediate attention before several people get hurt or worse, die!!!

I have a 99 Dodge Dakota with 59,000 miles. I am currently having my second 4WD transfer case replaced. First replacement was at 41,000 miles. I use my 4WD approx 20 times a year and for short distances. I have replaced the U joints twice, the A/C compressor once due to it being located in a terrible place. Oh, lets discuss the ball joints as well.
