2002 Dodge Dakota warped routers. This seems to have been a problem with many of the Dakota's this website alone had numerous complaints. I have owned this vehicle only one year and just took for inspection, power steering rack had to be replaced in excess of $900 and experiencing problem with vibration when stopping.

problem #1

Oct 152002

Dakota 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles
Upper and lower ball joints are exhibiting premature signs of failure at 10,000 miles load popping sounds when turning and braking. Vehicle now has 23,000 miles and is showing signs of steering vibrations. Why haven't the Dakota models been included with the durango suspension engineering investigation. There are almost 100 complaints on the website?
