Four problems related to suspension have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tire center indicates that tow end throws alignment out and wears the tire tread out. The consumer has gone through 4 sets of tires in 40,000 miles. Tire technician says problem is inherent with Dakota trucks.
When turning left or right or hitting a bump there's a little bump in steering. Consumer can pull in and out on front wheels with bare hands. Please provide any further information.
Daimler Chrysler advertised and sold the Dakota r/t vehicles as having a 6400 lb. Towing capacity. They have now downgraded this towing capacity to 2000 lbs. Many of these vehicles are being used to tow considerably more than 2000 lbs. This appears to be a severe safety hazard.
The manufacturer sent of a change that dropped tow rating from 6400lbs to 2000lbs on the r/t models. They give no reason for the change. Think it is important to know this information.
