1999 DODGE DAKOTA Complaints

GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRE P215 75 R15 EXPERIENCED BLOWOUT DAMAGING THE RIM, CONSUMER WANTS REIMBURSEMENT. *SLC

DODGE HAS DENIED ME COMPENSATION FOR A 69% REDUCTION IN TOWING CAPACITY THAT WAS OFFERED TO OTHER OWNERS SOLELY BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED. IT WAS PURCHASED 3 MOS. OLD WITH 3K MILES BEFORE THE REDUCTION WAS ANNOUNCED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN OFFICALLY NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO TOW 2000+ LBS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT CAN THE NHTSA DO TO HELP DOGDE UNDERSTAND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES?*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH AN ANMINAL RAN IN FRONT OF VEHICLE, CONSUMER FLIPPED OVER, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND SUN WAS BRIGHT AND BLINDED HER. CONSUMER HIT A TRAILER WHICH WAS PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY.*AK

BRAKES PULSATE DURING MEDIUM APPLICATION. DEALER FOUND ROTORS WARPED AND REQUIRED MILLING AND SHOE REPLACEMENT. SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME AND A POSIBLE SAFETY PROBLEM BUT DEALER SAYS ITS A WEAR ITEM. THE SHOES STILL HAD 75%+ OF THE PAD LEFT. I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ONE HERE.*AK

VEHCILE WANDERS LEFT TO RIGHT ON DRY ROAD. FRONT END VIBRATES INTERMITENTLY. CONSUMER HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE TO CALL BUT NO CONTACT.*AK ENGINE VALVE FAILED FIVE TIMES. STEERING FAILED THREE TIMES. REAR OIL SEAL IS LEAKING. *YH
