TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE DAKOTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE FRAME UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CALLED OR TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OPERABLE AND WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK WITH THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.
#10763308 | Crash
I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS SPEEDING AND TOOK A CURVE TO FAST AND CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND HIT HEAD ON. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS BUSTED WHEN IT WAS DEPLOYED. THE STEERING WHEEL INNER COMPONETS CAME OUT WITH THE AIRBAG WHICH DID NOT INFLATE AND CAUSED INJURY TO MY CHEST AREA. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT WAS BUSTED AND CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO GET A BROKEN ARM. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A DEFAULT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK. MY TWO YOUNGEST CHILDREN WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MOST IF NOT ALL DODGE VEHICLES ARE HAVING A PEELING PROBLEM WITH THE CLEAR COAT OF PAINT WHICH OVER TIME AFFECTS THE PAINT AND THEN RUSTS THE VEHICLES, WHETHER THEY ARE A CAR,SUV OR TRUCK. I AM ASSUMING THAT IT IS FROM WATERING DOWN THE PAINT TO SAVE MONIES FOR THE COMPANY BUT CHEATS THE CONSUMERS IN THE LONG RUN. SINCE THERE IS NO WARRANTIES ON THE PAINT THEN ONCE THIS PROBLEM IS NOTICEABLE IT IS TO LATE FOR THE CONSUMER TO CLAIM OR PURSUE ANY LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST DODGE. SHAME ON COOPERATE AMERICA. *TR
