ok, now that i'm in the right forum..

ok, i have a 2001 Dodge Dakota i got as an early birthday present. About the third day i had it, i told my dad "There's something wrong in the lock cylinder- it comes out of park without a key!". We both had concern, in that there was no recall for it.

SIX YEARS LATER from the production date, they finally announce a recall. GOOD JOB!
