This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I just replaced the ball joints on my 2001 Dakota. They were very loose and had alot of "play". I'm lucky I got mine repaired before it caused an accident like others I've recently heard about. I've also replaced the front drive shaft, rear U-joints and rear differential all within the last year. I have to believe that all this is related. I'm probably up over $3,000 in repairs for these things.
Noticed a squeaking noise coming from the rear wheels of my 2001 Dodge Dakota. Dealer stated that both rear U joints failed. The truck has only 42000 miles on it and should not have this kind of failure. In addition, I was informed that the extended warranty that I had purchased was no longer valid because that particular warranty company had gone out of business. I had to pay for the cost of the repair out of pocket!
