The guy said the new computer would cost us $2000 since this first incident it has happened four other times with the same thing happening each time.

Which I disagree with, as the front suspension components should not have rotted and disintegrated so badly and the chassis should not have had to have extensive repairs in less than 35,000 miles. It would be sent back due to the age of the truck. I opened a case# 57271603 with Chrysler and the agent told, that even if the case was moved up for review. These components rotting away to this extent with such low mileage regardless of age indicates the use of poor quality materials being used during assembly and posing a potential safety issue to consumers.

To the point of the nut holding the left outer tie rod end disintegrated. The car fax came back clean for accidents etc, but I have found, that both the front and rear sections of the chassis had to be replaced on driver and passenger sides and most of the front suspension had to be replaced too. ![]() Hello, I recently purchased a one owner 2005 Dodge Dakota, which has less than 35,000 miles and has been very well maintained.
