| 2002 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS INCORRECT. NOTIFIED DEALER OF THIS ISSUE AND ALSO AN ISSUE WITH GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE FRONT AND EVEN ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A HIGH FAILURE RATE FOR THIS. ALSO THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM TUBE HARNESS UNDER THE GAS TANK. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE SENSOR WAS LOOSE AND WAS CORRECTED. *JB |
| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | ENGINE STALLING AND / OR FAILURE SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES AT STARTUP. I HAVE HAD THIS 2001 DODGE DAKOTA FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AT ANYTIME. EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC THE TRUCK WOULD BE RUNNING GOOD AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY HAVE SCANNED THE ENGINE AND FOUND NO FAULTS. I HAVE READ OF MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEMS AND I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR |
