Where should I start my 2001 Dodge Dakota quad cab as with most complaints I also have had the same problems as other owners of this truck I have had to replace both leaf springs on the rear end both snapped at the same spot for no reason.have had to replace heater core ac core driverside door lock sometimes works also replaced passenger side complete hub assembly, now going to have to replace driver side, ABS system now failing after replacing rear brake shoes on truck the control module for the ABS system stays running after turning truck off have to unplug wiring. If Toyota can recall there vehicles for safety reasons then so should american manufacturing and the government should make them. But us government doesn't want to upset company's and make them lose more money I for one plan to place a law suit against them for there neglect against defective parts on these trucks and cars I plan to use this web site and others as my bases for law suit with this many complaints there has to be a problem.
