My 2001 Dodge Dakota has had upper front ball joints replaced due to popping in front end, the popping is still there. Front rotors have been changed because of being warped causing vibration in steering and rough braking. The right front wheel bearing and hub has went out causing loud squeeking noise when going down the road there is a constant squeeking noise now from front end. The blower fan has stopped working due to wiring problems. The rear end has a popping noise when putting in park Dodge house says thats normal (I have never had a truck do that before) and u joints are good, and I reported it to them when my warranty was good and now my warranty is out and I have all these repairs that I cannot afford !!.

I have a 2001 Dakota 2 wheel drive with a bad front suspension. It only 54000 miles on it. I have had the bushing replaced three times and now they tell me I need upper control arm bushings, both upper ball joints, and a r/f hub bearing. Upper ball joints are very loose. I was wondering why I am always fixing the front suspension and if there is anything I can do to get this problem solved. I heard that there is a recall on the four wheel drive Dakota's, but not the two wheel drive. Could you please help me figure out what to do/ thanks, stephen.

Without warning vehicle lost control while driving 40 mph. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the front hub assembly needed to be replaced. . . . . .

Truck developed warped rotors @ 13k miles. Rotors were turned and fron t calipers replaced due to TSB. Later shudder reappeard @ about 22k miles. Dealer turned rear rotors. Shudder reappeared ~6k miles later. Replaced rear discs since older ones were beyond turning. Shudder reappeared @ 34k. After much discussion with dealer and Dodge cust no-service, front hubs were replaced and front rotors turned due to TSB. Now at 38k miles shudder is back.

This is a 2003 Dodge Dakota pick-up with 2 wheel drive. Upper ball joint and front hub bearing are both bad, and must be replaced . This vehicle has only 34,900 miles on it. Started making a loud humming sound when making a turn and was taken to repair shop for inspection. We thought maybe it just needed a front end alignment. Was told by the repair shop the alignment could not be done and the repairs were very much needed for our safety. Reading on line I see many complaints about the same problem, but Chrysler has only agreed to recall 4 wheel drive vehicles with this same problem. If Dakota's with 2 wheel drive are having the same problem, why are they not included in the recall?.
