I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota and when I called Chrysler they told me my vehicle was not included in the recall (06V038000) I am having the exact brake problems described in the recall and don't know what I can do about it. Any help from your organization would be great!!!

On 07/17/06 at approx. 3:45 pm. While traveling at 35 - 40 mph in heavy traffic in phoenix AZ.. outside temp. Around 108 - 110 on a newish rubberized surface. The cars ahead of me stopped quite quickly. I applied the brakes firmly the truck felt as if I were on ice. Not seeming to slow the truck down at all. Resulting in a crash. There were 2 skid marks from the rear tires. Nothing from the front. It has been brought to my attn. That there has been a recall of many Dakota 2006 trucks re: ABS brakes not stopping correctly causing accidents. This describes what has happened to me. Is this truck defective. There has been recall on this truck type. Is this one of them. VIN # [xxx] 2006 Dakota, please respond to [xxx] or [xxx], [xxx], thank you ! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
