About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I was recently notified that the tow rating of the Dodge Dakota R/T only was lowered from 6400 lbs to 2000 lbs. I found out on a website. I contacted Chrysler and was told this was true, that it was lowered in Feb 99 and I would receive a letter in the mail regarding my options. They would not tell me why it was lowered. I asked if it was a safety or performance issue. They would not say. It took 2 months to get the letter and all it was a yellow card to put in my owner's manual saying that the tow capacity was now 2000 lbs. All the literature I have along with my owner's manual says 6400 lbs and apparently, Chrysler is still advertising 6400 lbs.
