Four problems related to front suspension wheel bearing have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 1999 Dodge Dakota sport. In June of 2008, the wheel bearings were replaced on the vehicle. In September and December of 2008 and again in January of 2009, the front wheel bearings were replaced. The contact stated the vehicle has never been taken to get serviced professionally. While driving at any speed, a clicking sound is heard coming from the wheels. The front wheel bearings have failed five times before while driving. This is currently the sixth occurrence and the contact would like some assistance. The failure mileage was 180,000.
I have had to replace both front wheel bearings, they failed. Now I have to replace front ball joints. Why is this not being recalled? is my safety not a concern to Dodge or NHTSA? I have already been stranded on the highway at midnight, thanks.
After hearing a humming noise coming from the front end. The dealership informed the consumer that the front wheel bearing were worn.
My 1999 Dodge Dakota had the wheel bearing fail at 65,000 miles. This is the same failure that has occurred in the 2000 to present recall. They should include the 1999 model in their recall.
