I too will agree that the rotors on the Dakotas aren't too good. I don't
think the brake pads are that great either. I replaced my front brake pads
and rotors at about 50,000. Before I replaced the rotors you could get a
good steering wheel shake when you stepped on the brake.

I'll agree with that. When I had my troubles with brakes the DC rep.
admitted that in our conversation. Have switched to Power Slots and
Raybestos pads. No problems since.
