I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota sport. The color is solar yellow. In late April of this year, I noticed that my clear coat was starting to peel and it was turning white in other sections of my truck. I took it into a Dodge dealer which told me that the clear coat is too thin on all panels. He contacted Chrysler to let them know what was wrong, and they denied to fix it since it is out of warranty. So I wrote them a letter asking them to reconsider since it wasn't my fault that the clear coat was too thin on the whole vehicle. They have informed me that it is out of warranty.
I purchaced in March 2004 a used 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab with 71,000 miles. With in the first month the right rear window regulator needed to be replaced. In July '04 the right front door regulator went out that needed to be replaced. In sept '04 the left rear window went bad. In may 2005 the left front door regulator went out. I find it hard to believe there is no recall on any of these regulators. Even thou its a 2000 and in good shape. The dealer informs me no recalls. I have researched on line for any information to confirm this? no luck. I'm very frusterated as a Dodge owner. There has to be some information some where to support all these problems happing with in the first year.
I bought a 2000 Dodge Dakota extended cab sle model. It now has about 50,000 miles on it. The truck has been regularly washed and waxed but is not garaged. It is black with a gray lower body panel. Several large white discolorations have appeared on the roof of the truck. No amount of washing waxing or polishing compound has any effect on these white spots. They seem to be a defect in the clear coat. I have seen at least one other black Dakota of the same vintage with the same problem. These were first noticed several months ago.
