I bought a used 1993 dodge dakato in april of 96, at the time of purchase the paint was already flaking off in large pieces(blue/silver), and the transmission had been rebuilt once(60,000 miles). Since the time of purchase all of the paint is gone off the hood and roof, the transmission has been completely rebuilt again($1803.00), and I replaced the overhead cam sensor 2x within 10 days.I contacted dodge about the paint flaking and they offered no help.
