About 1 year ago, paint started to blow off my 1995 Dodge Dakota. This truck has had no body work done and has suffered no damage. The paint is peeling in many places all over the cab and in a couple of areas has begun to rust. Paint should last more than 9 years and I am surprised that Dodge would allow such a problem for their customers. My vehicle is a 1995 club cab short bed 4X4 and is two tone blue and grey in color.
