(depending on labor) my complaint is simple, i am being forced to pay for damaged parts on my truck that are directly caused by the manufactures error. a problem that can be proved to be the manufacturers fault. i was sold a vehicle that had the wrong axle installed. which then caused additional problems. when i bought this truck i was under the impression that the manufactures made the vehicle properly. they did not. they sold me a truck with the wrong part installed. not only is this wrong but there should be some kind of an investigation into this. if the wrong size axle is in my truck, there are other trucks that also have the wrong size axle installed. it is dangerous and suspicious. i think it is even safe to say that it is fraud too! selling trucks that have the wrong parts installed and then making profit from the repairs and replacements. sounds like fraud to me. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1D7HW42K05S.

(it should be a law if it isn't). what i'm getting at with this they add a feature so i just feel the vehicles they make now and in the past should have two key holes and it should be made a law. *tr thank you.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1D7HW48N25S.

Dodge Dakota 2005 Service Brakes, HydraulicDodge Dakota 2005 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10373325 DODGE DAKOTA 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 20, 2005.DODGE DAKOTA 2005, manufactured by CHRYSLER GROUP LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . 2005 and early 2006 dodge dakota's equipped with the 8.25 inch rear axle have a defective brake design. they utilize a single spring between the rear brake shoes which creates varying degrees of brake shuddering upon application. in addition many of these trucks are equipped with defective axles which contribute to the shuddering problem. in late 2005, dodge issued a tsb to their dealers on how to correct these problems. this was soon superseded by tsb 05-002-006. i purchased a truck with both the defective brakes and defective axles in august of 2005. i was never notified of either tsb by chrysler corporation. i now understand that since my vehicle is over one year old that i am responsible for much of the cost of repairing these factory defects to an important safety system. dodge issued two tsb's and began installing a properly designed rear brake assembly on all new dakotas built after january 2006. i believe that dodge should issue an immediate safety recall for all affected 2005 and early 2006 dakota trucks and repair them for little or no cost to the owner. this problem has undoubtedly increased the risk for serious accidents due to diminished braking power and driver reaction to the pulsating pedal on hard braking. in addition, numerous owners have probably paid for unnecessary and ineffective repairs since the symptoms of this design defect mimic those of out-of-round brake drums. *tr.Mileage was 300 miles.

(damaged parts still available) in the early part of 2011, i began to hear creaking noise from the suspension system as i drove and on turns. i inspected the system several times and concluded that 1 or more of the ball joints were dry and needed grease. the ball joints had no fittings to apply grease so a needle valve was used to inject grease into the boots. this helped for a short period but the creaking came back a few months later. i sent this vehicle into the repair shop and they said the lower ball joints were dry and had excess side play. they recommended replacement for safety and alignment concerns at less than 40000 miles. i am very concerned that these suspension parts are failing far too soon. the consumer has no way to add grease to these parts and must rely on the original parts being properly lubricated to have reasonable durablity. failures at this early stage indicates defective parts and processes that must be addressed asap. needless to say, i will be forced to have these parts repaired for safety concerns and a high cost to the vehicle owner. these parts should be required to last longer than the short period i have experienced on this vehicle. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.

Dodge Dakota 2005 Seats Review #10494871 DODGE DAKOTA 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 22, 2013.DODGE DAKOTA 2005, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with SEATS . driver's side heater seat burnt hole in my seat, my blue jeans and my wallet, warped credit card. three months ago, a friend backed my truck out of his driveway and when i left his house, i noticed a hole in the back seat cover. i blamed him for burning a hole in my seat since he is a smoker. i have noticed that lately my seat had been getting awful "hot" but never though it might be burning. then, tues jan 22, i got out of my truck and noticed the hole burnt in the bottom cushion. i have spent the past week talking with the dealer and chrysler about it since it is a safety issue. chrysler is willing to help me out 50% cost. what i am finding out is that the dealer artificially inflates the costs so that in reality, it really won't cost chrysler a dime. obviously, this has been going on for some time. the problem with the nhtsa is that these issues are minor to them in the big picture of things percentage wise - so they ignore it. but to the consumer, it is major. if the nhtsa was smart or really on top of things - they would look at the overall numbers of the car company and they would find that the chrysler corp. has had trouble with their heated seats for over a decade. all their brands. recall on jeep gr cherokee 2001-2004 ; sebring; town & country; dodge/ram trucks. why does nhtsa not care about the individuals in these cases. there was a paralyzed man that had his seat accidentally turned on - he ended up with third degree burns on his thigh about the size of a quarter. i would say that the nhtsa needs to do some homework on chrysler and exercise a recall on all of these heated seat elements. how many people need to suffer? why is everything based on numbers?? does anyone in this world care about the individuals being harmed??in my opinion, you are failing terribly by not going after the chrysler corp. for their neglect.

Dodge Dakota 2005 Seats Front Assembly Seat Heater/coolerDodge Dakota 2005 Seats Front Assembly Seat Heater/cooler Review #10569443 DODGE DAKOTA 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 27, 2014.DODGE DAKOTA 2005, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER . i turned on my heated seat, as i have done several times this winter. after approximately 15 minutes, i smelled something burning. i reached around the back of me as i was driving because a spot on my back was very heated. i actually stuck my finger through a hole in the seat that had burned through both the seat and my coat. (also my finger, at this point.) i immediately turned the heat off and went directly to the dealership. their solution was to contact chrysler's customer claims resolution center, who in turn inspected the vehicle and my coat on march 3, 2014. the next contact i had was a letter dated march 10 that stated, "the inspector found no indication of a manufacturing defect that caused or contributed to the incident..." i subsequently called their general office counsel and was told they would not be doing anything further and i should make a claim to my insurance agent. they refused to answer my questions regarding how many vehicles had similar problems and that there were no "higher ups" that i could contact. needless to say, i'm not happy with the outcome and would welcome any suggestions you might have for me. thank you. *tr.Vehicle was on fire. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.
