2000 Dodge Dakota complaints

DEALERSHIP INFORMED CONSUMER THAT FRONT UPPER BALL JOINTS WERE WORN OUT. CONSUMER WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME. DEALERSHIP DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *LA

WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS AT ANY SPEED, THE CONSUMER COULD HEAR A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER CAN ALSO FEEL A THUMPING SENSATION COMING THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT. *NM *NM

WHEN REPLACING TIRES ON MY 2000 DAKOTA, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY BALL JOINTS WERE WORN TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE. MY VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 30 DAYS BEYOND THE EXPIRATION OF THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 19,000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE BOTH THE BALL JOINTS AND THE TIRES SHOULD WEAR MORE MILEAGE THAN THAT. I ALSO BELIEVE THE DETERIORATION OF THE BALL JOINTS ACCELERATED THE WEAR OF THE TIRES. BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. DID NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR A RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

DURING INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC INFORMWD THE CONSUMER THAT THEIR FRONT LOWER/UPPER BALL JOINT WERE WEARING. *JB

2000 QUAD CAB 4 X 4 DAKOTA. I BOUGHT THE DAKOTA USED WITH 59,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SQUEAK AND CLUNK. A DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSISED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE UPPER BALL JOINTS. THIS IS AWEFUL EARLY TO HAVE BALL JOINT FAILURES. I HAD THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED FOR $360. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT DAIMLERCHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF AN UPPER BALL JOINT FAILS, THEN IT WILL SEPERATE FROM THE KNUCKLE. THE KNUCKLE HOLDS THE WHEEL IN PLACE. SO, IF THE BALL JOINT FAILS THERE AS HIGH PROBABILITY THAT THE WHEEL WILL COME OFF.

2000 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB 4X4 SLT. HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION. TOP OF THE LINE MODEL. TOOK TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE ON A SQUEEKING FRONT END SUSPENSION. SERVICE FINDS RIGHT UPPER BALL JOINT NEEDS REPLACED. ONCE THE TECHNICIAN GOT INTO THE WORK HE FINDS ALL FOUR BALL JOINTS, UPPERS AND LOWERS, NEED TO BE REPLACED. TRUCK HAS 87K ROAD MILES ALL ON PAVED ROAD. NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD. VEHICLE WAS PARTIALLY REPAIRED. PENDING MY ABILITY TO PAY FOR REMAINING RIGHT LOWER, AND LEFT UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT.*AK

HAD SEEN A NEWS STORY REGARDING 2000 DODGE DAKOTA UPPER BALL JOINT FAILURES WHERE FRONT WHEEL WOULD COME OFF. I SUSPECTED MINE WERE MAKING CLUNKING NOISES SO I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK THEM AT ABOUT 62,000 MILES. I TOLD THEM I HAD HAD HEARD OF COMPLAINTS/POSSIBLE ISSUES RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE "OK". ON MAY 2ND ( AT ~67,000 MILES), WHILE JACKING THE FRONT END UP TO CHECK BRAKES AND ROTATE TIRES, THE UPPER BALL JOINT COMPLETELY DROPPED OUT OF THE SOCKET ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. I CONSIDER MYSELF VERY FORTUNATE, THIS BALL JOINT DIDN'T POP OUT WHILE DRIVING. I AM FURIOUS THAT CHRYSLER HASN'T RECALLED (THAT I AM AWARE OF), OR AT LEAST SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM. *AK

THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GARAGE FOR INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINTS FAILED. *AK THE UPPER BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED TWICE AT 30K MILES. THE SERVICE DEALER AND CHRYSLER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BALL JOINTS AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. *SC *JB

AT 31450 MILES DEALERSHIP REPLACED LOWER BALL JOINT AND LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT. *AK *LA

WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *AK *LA

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BOTH FRONTAL UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT PARTS. *AK

2000 DODGE DAKOTA SPORT 49,000 MILES, NEED BOTH UPPER BALL JOINTS REPLACED. UPON HEARING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED PRIOR TO GOING ON A TRIP. AFTER THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE TRUCK, THEY SAID THE RIGHT WHEEL WAS ABOUT READY TO FALL OFF AND THE LEFT WAS BAD AS WELL. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DRIVE IT ACROSS TOWN. THEY PROVIDED ME A CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY FIX IT. DODGE NEEDS TO PERFORM A RECALL ON THESE AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR GOOD. I'M AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN LATER, JUST LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER REPORTS OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES. IF THEY DON'T DO A RECALL, IT WILL NOT ONLY EFFECT MY WALLET, BUT ALSO FUTURE BUYING DECISIONS. I WANT A COMPANY TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I THINK THE RESALE VALUE WOULD ALSO BE EFFECTED IF A RECALL IS NOT DONE.

VEHICLE WAS THREE YEARS OLD WHEN THE RIGHT BALL JOINT HAD TO BE REPLACED. *PH THE CONSUMER HEARD A POPPING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH ALERTED HIM OF A PROBLEM. *JB

UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS WORE OUT. MAKES A HORRIBLE POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL OR INTIALLY GOING FORWARD AND BACKING UP WHILE CUTTING THE WHEEL.*AK

AT VERY LOW MILEAGE, AN INDEPENDENT SHOP REPLACED THE LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *AK *JB

I OWN A 2000 DODGE DAKOTA, AND HAVE NOTICED A POPPING NOISE ON THE DIRVERS SIDE FRONT END. I HAVE SINCE DETERMINED THAT IT IS IN FACT THE UPPER BALL JOINT THAT IS BADLY WORN, AND HAS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PLAY IN IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS BECOMMING A GROWING PROBLEM AND WANTED TO ADD TO IT IN HOPES OF GETTING IT REPLACED BEFORE MY FRONT WHEEL FALLS OFF. *AK

AT APPROX. 8K MILES, PULSING AND SHIMMY STARTED IN FRONT END. HAD TO RESURFACE ROTORS. HAD TO DO AGAIN LATER AT ABOUT 35K. NOT NORMAL. AT 15K REPORTED FRONT END CREAKS/GROANS DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEM. AT 35K MORE OF THE SAME, DEALER REPLACED FRONT STABILIZER/SWAY BUSHING. AT 38K MILES, REPLACED LOWER STEERING COLUMN. HELPED SOME BUT STILL CREAKING WHEN STEERING AT LOW SPEED. AT 53K ASKED AGAIN ABOUT STEERING GROAN. DEALER SAYS HE COULD FIX FOR ABOUT $1000 (OF COURSE OUT OF WARRANTY NOW! AND I'VE BEEN ASKING ABOUT THIS SINCE 15K MILES). ALSO AT 53K, REPLACED LOWER BALL JOINTS LEFT SIDE AND FUEL PUMP. AT 59K BACK IN THE SHOP TODAY TO REPLACE RIGHT BALL JOINTS WHICH CAUSE VEHICLE STEERING TO "WANDER" AND HAVE BADLY WORN INSIDE RIGHT TIRE. QUALITY OF VEHICLE IS LOUSY AND THEY WON'T ADMIT IT OR STAND BEHIND IT. THE ROTOR AND FRONT END PROBLEMS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY IMPAIR THE DRIVERS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE SUSPENSION COLLAPSED COMPLETELY, SEVERING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COLLAPSED TO THE GROUND. THE TOWING MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINTS WORE OUT. *AK *SC *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT STEERING COLUMN/HEADLIGHTS. WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS IN THE TILT UPRIGHT POSITION, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS OPERATED. WHEN THE TILT STEERING WHEEL WAS IN THE STRAIGHT POSITION THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT AUTOMATICALLY.*AK THE CONSUMER FOUND OUT THE LOW BEAM WIRE AT THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH HAD BROKEN AT THE CONNECTION AND SHORTED OUT.*JB

DEALERSHIP INFORMED CONSUMER THAT UPPER FRONT BALL JOINT WERE WORN OUT. CONSUMER WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME. DEALERSHIP HAD NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. *AK CONSUMER RECEIVED A COPY OF A CONSUMER REPORT REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH BALL JOINTS ON VEHICLE, BUT MANUFACTURER SAID THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE EXISTING PROBLEM. *LA

WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A POPPING METAL NOISE IN THE FRONT END. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UPPER THEN THE LOWER BALL JOINTS BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN OUT. *AK THE BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED AT 27K MILES AND AGAIN AT 65K MILES. *SC

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE UPPER BALL JOINTS. CONSUMER HAD THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. *AK *MR

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAIL REPEATEDLY AND OFTEN. THEY PRESENT A REAL DANGER IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION OR FIRE, WHEN THE DOOR MAY NOT BE EASILY OPENED. ON A MORE MUNDANE LEVEL I WOULD THINK THEY COULD BUILD AN ELECTRIC LOCK SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 12-24 MONTHS. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED.*AK

DURING ROUTINE BRAKE MAINTENANCE, DEALERSHIP WARNED THAT UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE LOOSE AND UPPER CONTROL BUSHINGS ARE CRACKED AND BOTH ARE IN URGENT NEED OF REPLACING. VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS AT 55,746. BALL JOINTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST TO 100,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS SECONDARY FAMILY VEHICLE AND ONLY DRIVEN FREEWAY WITH NO TOWING, HEAVY LOADS, OR HAULING. IF VEHICLE WAS NOT MAINTAINED REGULARLY THIS DEFECT WOULD HAVE BEEN MISSED AND SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH TO PREGNANT WIFE, 7 YEAR OLD, AND MYSELF WOULD HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE NATURE AND SEVERITY OF DEFECT. *JB

THE UPPER BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT BASED ON THE OBSERVATION OF A MECHANIC THAT WAS SERVICING THE VEHICLE. *AK *LA

2000 DODGE DAKOTA PICKUP 27,700 MILES OF USE 4 YEARS OLD THE LOCAL DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR FRONT END BALL JOINTS AND BOTH TIE RODS. THE DEALER PAID FOR ALL PARTS AND I PAID $365.00 IN LABOR COSTS. THE DEALER STATED THESE PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER THAN THE 27,700 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A CBS TV REPORT. THESE VEHICLES AND THE 2000 DODGE DURANGOS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS. DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE PLACED ON THESE MODELS AND SHOULD BE CHECKED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.*AK

MY 2000 DAKOTA QUAD CAB WHICH HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING CLUNKING NOISES AND ALSO MAKE SQUEAKING NOISES IN THE FRONT END (LIKE A WORN OUT 70S MODEL TRUCK). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. THEIR DIAGNOSIS IS THAT BOTH FRONT UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED. (RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE). BOTH THE BUSHINGS AND THE BALL JOINTS ARE WORN OUT. THE SERVICE TECH THAT CALLED ME BACK TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG SAID I WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE IN THE CONDITION IT IS IN, IT IS NOT SAFE DUE TO THE WORN BALL JOINTS. *AK

UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS DEFECTIVE. REPLACED @ 75,000 MILES WHEN HANDLING DEGRADED AND "CLUNKING" NOISE STARTED TO AVOID CATASTROPHIC EVENT.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AND WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES VEHICLE VIBRATED UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP. *AK ABOUT EVERY 20K MILES THE ROTORS WOULD WARP AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALSO SHAKE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AS WELL. *SC *JB

THE FRONT OF VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIBRATION. AFTER HAVING VEHICLE SERVICED CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WOBBLED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM PERTAINED TO A FRONT BALL JOINT FAILURE. *AK

WHEN DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE VEHICLE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. DRIVER WILL ATTEMPT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, YET IT FEELS LIKE VEHICLE IS ALTERNATELY PULLING TOWARDS LEFT AND RIGHT. DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS THREE TIMES. THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAD BEEN EXAMINED BY DEALER FIVE TIMES, AND STATED NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND WITH THE WAY VEHICLE PERFORMED.*AK

TRUCK WITH 53,000 FAILED STATE INSPECTION WITH A WORN UPPER BALL JOINT. IT IS POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THIS PART WITHOUT THE CONTROL ARM, SAVING ABOUT $100 IN REPAIR COSTS. HOWEVER, DODGE HAS THESE PARTS ON BACKORDER DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND(COINCIDENCE??), RESULTING IN A $300 REPAIR BILL FOR MY TRUCK TO PASS INPECTION. RECALL ANYONE???*AK

IN A PARKING LOT WHILE TRAVELLING LESS THAN 5MPH THE PASSENGER SIDE UPPER BALL JOINT SEPERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENTIRE WHEEL, BRAKE, AND CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY ROTATED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. BEFORE PULLING INTO THIS PARKING LOT I HAD BEEN TRAVELLING AT 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY.

CONSUMER INDICATES THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE FRONT WHEELS, AND CAN HEAR A POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER FEELS THIS MAY BE RELATED TO BALL JOINT PROBLEM, AND THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF. *AK

UPPER BALL JOINTS FAILED. AS A RESULT, WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION WHEELS WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT BALL JOINTS WERE POPPING SO BADLY THAT HE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE MADE A TURN EITHER RIGHT OF LEFT IT SOUNDED AS IF THE WHEEL WAS COMING OFF. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 60,000 MILES.*AK

I TOO AM EXPERIENCING SHAKING, POPPING IN THE FRONT END OF MY 2000 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD..TURN THE WHEEL TOO SHARPLY AND A BAD SHAKE, ENGINE WANTS TO DIE OUT. TIRES AREN'T WEARING EVENLY (2ND SET) AND ON MY 3RD SET OF ROTORS (ALL WARPED, MECHANIC IN COLUMBIA, SC SAID DODGE PUT UNDERSIZED ROTORS ON...KNOCK ON WOOD - ROTORS ARE HANGING IN THERE SO FAR AFTER 1 YEAR). TIRES & ROTORS (WAY TOO MANY CHANGES HAVE COST ME OVER $2000 WITH A BRAKE JOB). I NOW HAVE SOMETHING CALLED A LOCK ACTUATOR THAT HAS GONE BAD, LOCKS MAKE HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING & REAR RIGHT DOESN'T LOCK. HUMID MORNINGS MAKE FOR A ROUGH START AS THE ENGINE WILL RACE IN PARK (HIGH IDLE), THEN RAPIDLY DROP, DIES OUT SOMETIMES. DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (THEY ADMITTED NOT STARTING IT UNTIL NOON!!). *AK

MY 2000 DODGE DAKOTA WAS IN THE SHOP TO HAVE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD 90923 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPAIR, AT A COST OF $803. *JB

NOISE FELT IN FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN TURNING - ESPECIALLY WITH LEFT TURNS. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM. TOOK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER A FEW MONTHS LATER AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW UPPER BALL JOINTS. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED NEW LOWER BALL JOINTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE LOWER BALL JOINTS FOR A LITTLE OVER $600! I STILL CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE UPPER BALL JOINTS AND I AM STILL FEELING A SLIGHT THUMP WHEN TURNING. THIS PROBLEM IS SO COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM MAD AT DODGE FOR NOT RECALLING. I READ A REPORT ON 60 MINUTES ABOUT BALL JOINT PROBLEMS CAUSING TIRES TO FALL OFF VEHICLES DURING DRIVING. WHAT A DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN. I THINK OF THIS EVERYDAY AS I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY TIRES FELL OF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH? I HOPE DODGE GETS SOME SENSE AND DOES A RECALL ON THIS! HERE IS THE LINK TO THE ARTICLE: HTTP://WWW.CBSNEWS.COM/STORIES/2004/03/03/EVENINGNEWS/MAIN603833.SHTML *JB

UPPER BALL JOINTS FAILED. *AK

FRONT END NOISES. CLUNKING SOUND THAT CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER. HAS BEEN CHECKED BY DODGE SERVICE CENTER A FEW TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY REPLACED FRONT BALL JOINT. STILL HAS A LOUD CLUNK. ALSO, IT WILL NOT HOLD AN ALIGNMENT FOR ANY LENGHT OF TIME.

WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT OF VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY. CONSUMER REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT MECHANIC TOLD HER THEY COULD NOT DO AN ALIGNMENT DUE TO BALL JOINT FAILURE. *AK
