One problem related to front suspension control arm has been reported for the 2006 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Truck needs struts and parts have been on back order for over 6 months, there is a bolt and nut that cannot be removed without cutting it off because of poor design. The replacement part for the nut and bolt are not available . . . . Struts are available. This is a known defect in Dodges but as far as I can tell there has not been a recall. Truck is now unsafe to drive control arms have to be cut off to replace struts.
