What owners say
The ball joints are also defective, but this is an 1999 dakota. I have went through eight tres in th front and can hear the ball joints squeak.
While driving at any speed consumer heard a squeaking sound coming from the rear axle of the vehicle. Rear pinion bearings were replaced five times. Dealer claimed that the problem was corrected. However, consumer insisted that the problem was still evident. *ak
On several occasions, I brought the truck to the dealer for a squeal and the steering felt odd. At least 5 u-joints, the track bar, and other front end parts were replaced. Fortunately my dealer kept looking and I had the extended warranty. Why is there no recall on the u joints and other parts?? I know many people with the same problems.
Driving home on freeway, grinding noise ,smoke . We had to drive approx. 40 MPH. We had the truck towed to the dodge dealership they say the transfer case is busted. We have had this truck in numerouis times and told them we felt like we were having transmission problems, they could never find anything wrong. Now our truck is still at the dealership because our ext. Warranty refuses to pay the claim. I have heard many people complaining about the transmissions in dodge trucks, can't something be done? Dealer we bought from is out of business(crown dodge).
