2001 Dodge Dakota Owner Comments

problem #2

Jun 132005

Dakota 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 72,000 miles

At any speed during braking, hard or soft, there seems to be a wash board effect. Truck seems to buck. From reading other reports, it seems to be a manufacturer defect that is being ignored by the manufacturer. I purchased the truck with 62000 miles and at the time, there was smooth braking. Now at 73000 I have the above described problem. I will not take it to a dealer, rather I will take it to a reputable brake shop to have the problem fixed.
