I'd take it back and claim it's a lemon. There's no way a new truck should have any problems period. Sorry to hear it's your first Dodge though.

I agree. Take it back. I bought mine 5 weeks ago and it is perfect. It's my 3rd Dakota. The first two were great trucks also. The first Dakota was a '95 and it was my first Chrysler product. We just got a 2000 Sebring for the wife last year and that is one sweet vehicle.

I hate to see you get off on such bad footing with Mopar because of one bad vehicle.

just got done at dealer they are gonna keep it for a couple of days and make sure it is perfect and give me 500 dollars of my down payment back (not to shabby) this dealer is realy good they have had me in a loaner since the first time and a truck not a compact!! it is not there fault i dont blame them ,but dodge should check on some quality issues from the factory because it is gonna hurt the dealer more than them ok ill keep you posted

thanks

What did they find on the passenger window? Mine was doing samething, dealer put new regulator in it but it still goes up real slow and all they try now is lubing the track
