Dakota 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,139 miles
Post wheel stud failures previously reported and while repairing the vehicle for that issue, it was noticed that the brake lining on drum from the wheel with the broken studs showed three cracks visible. Two cracks were about the width of the lining and one was a smaller fracture on the edge. Original dealer was informed on 10/22/07, but has not responded with R a confirmation for a safety check appointment. Or meeting to discuss the failures.
