Takata recall this trucks frame just broke. It's a clean break and looks to be right on a weld. The truck was in motion I thought I hit a big bump. It also ruptured the gas tank. We called chrysler cooperation and they said to have a local dealer look at it. They did and told us it wasn't under warranty, which we already knew. I was shocked they didn't want to help and consider recalling the other trucks from the time and place this one was made to check their frames. I tried to send pictures but it won't let me on here this is my second attempt. I feel strongly that this is a major issue that someone from the highway safety department should at least look at. Please get a hold of me so I can send you a picture of this broken frame so you can make your determination. Thank you for your time. And this truck was in motion when the frame broke I thought I'd hit a big pothole

Where should I start my 2001 dodge dakota quad cab as with most complaints I also have had the same problems as other owners of this truck I have had to replace both leaf springs on the rear end both snapped at the same spot for no reason .have had to replace heater core AC core driverside door lock sometimes works also replaced passenger side complete hub assembly,now going to have to replace driver side,ABS system now failing after replacing rear brake shoes on truck the control module for the ABS system stays running after turning truck off have to unplug wiring. If toyota can recall there vehicles for safety reasons then so should american manufacturing and the government should make them. But us government doesn't want to upset company's and make them lose more money I for one plan to place a law suit against them for there neglect against defective parts on these trucks and cars I plan to use this web site and others as my bases for law suit with this many complaints there has to be a problem.
