I HAVE NOT STARTED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PAINT DUE TO IT STARTED PEELING REALLY BAD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. A FRIEND OF MINE RECOMMENDED CONTACTING THE ZONE REPRESENTATIVE FROM DODGE TO SEE IF THEY WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE. I AM GOING CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME. THE PAINT STARTED FLAKING SEVERAL YEARS AGO, NOTHING TO BE REALLY ALARMED AT. I JUST CHALKED IT UP TO NORMAL WEAR. TWO YEARS OR THREE YEARS AGO THE PAINT STARTED PEALING OFF IN SHEETS. A LIGHT BREEZE WILL FLAKE OFF A SHEET OF PAINT. NOW RUST IS STARTING TO SHOW ON THE AREAS THAT HAS HAD PAINT FLAKE OFF. PAINT HAS COME OFF THE HOOD AND CAB OF THE TRUCK. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. I LIKE YOUR WEBSITE. I FOUND SOME OF THE PROBLEMS OF MY TRUCK ON YOUR SITE, AT LEAST I KNOW THAT I AM NOT HEARING THINGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.

PAINT ON TOP OF PASSENGER CAB HAS BEGUN TO BUBBLE AND PEEL. THE PAINT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, WASHED AND WAXED IN A REGULAR BASIS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE AS I HAVE BEGUN TO NOTICE QUITE A FEW OF DOKOTA P/U'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NO SAFETY DEFECT FOUND IN SUMMARY. *AK

HAVE CONTACTED DEALER, SERVICE REP, MANUFACTUER, MARK III NO AVAIL ON PAINT PEELING PROBLEM, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. MOST DODGE VECHICLES HAVE PEELING PAINT PROBLEMS, BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR, PLEASE ASSIST US IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU THERESA ALEY. *AK
SOME OF THE ABS EQUIPPED VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN UNDERSIZED BRAKE RETURN CHECK VALVE. IN INCIDENTS WHERE HARD BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT IS APPLIED ON LOW FRICTION ROAD SURFACES, LIKE RAIN COVERED STREETS, THE VALVES MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE ABS TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THIS CREATES EXCESS BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL AND MAY CAUSE THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LACK OF FRONT WHEEL ABS COULD CAUSE THE FRONT WHEELBRAKES TO LOCK, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE RETURN CHECK VALVE WITH THE CORRECT VALVE.
