Remember seeing Dodge Caravans driving around with this problem. Assumed a big Company like Dodge would have solved by now. Just recently purchased a Japanese vechile and likely continue to do so for quality reasons.

problem #1

Dakota Sport 4wd Ext C 4.7L V8

My black Dakota is turning into a skunk. A white line with fuzzy edges runs down the middle of my roof, and i'm noticing smaller patches elsewhere. I think the clear coat is oxidizing and the paint is still there underneath, because there is no change in texture if you touch the whitish areas. The majority of problems i'm seeing online are also on black dakotas, so maybe the color makes it too hot?? Is this something they should pay 100% of the cost for??
