I purchased a 1998 Dodge Dakota SLT with 91K miles I took it in for an oil change and was notified that the frame was seriously rusted under the passengers door and could break at any time. Is there any recalls that you know of for the frame. Do you know if the frames are covered for the lifetime of the truck. I don't know if any of these recalls have been fixed on this truck is there a time limit for those repairs? Thanks

Do you drive a 1998 DODGE DAKOTA?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
