problem #1

Feb 052005

Dakota 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10 miles
Incident-2005 Dodge Dakota, severe vibrations in rear of truck. So far dealer has changed 11 Goodyear Eagle ls & 8 wheels and vibration still there. Dealer advises that cannot change brand if tires without Dodge permission. Awaiting permission. The vibration is a safety problem as the rear end of truck will hop around on rough or poorly maintained roads. I have driven 5 separate 2005 Dakota's and the same problem occurred on all 5 trucks. Dealer response is they all do it, so it is not a problem. Also, second concern is the positioning of the 2 headrests in rear seating area as they reduce rearward vision by 25%. it would require a major dis-assembly of the inside back of truck to remove. They are not needed when the rear seats are removed.
