I hope I don't get FLAMED for this, but I hate D.C. products because of this Quality issue. If it wasn't for the looks of the Dakota, I would not own one. Like I said before, Daimler Chrysler's stand on quality is... Quality is job ZERO!!! Quality products, That is something the other companys make.

I haven't had any of these problems on my '97.
