Consumer Description

I OWN A DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB 2001 5.9 V8 THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SUCKED. THE FRONT ROTORS WARPED OVER AND OVER AGAIN I'M FORCED IN BUYING A BIGGER KIT THAT WILL COST ME $3,000. THE REAR END LEAKS AND THE DEALER SAYS ITS NATURAL. THESE TWO PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WITH ME FOR 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN. I THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING NOW AND THE STEERING PUMP IS GOING TOO. THE TRUCK HAS 66,000 MILES NOW. IT LOOKS NICE BUT HP , BRAKES AND OVER ALL PERFORMANCE SUCKS. IF I WAS IN THE CREATIVE END WORKING FOR DODGE I COULD IMPROVE THEIR VEHICLES GREATLY. *JB
