1997 Dodge Dakota complaints

ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

I HAD NEW FRONT ROTORS PUT ON MY TRUCK AT 72,116 MILES PER DODGE'S REQUEST. NOTICED RUBBING WHEN APPLIED BRAKE WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS. DODGE SAID THEY NEED TO BREAK IN THAT CONDITION WOULD IMPROVE. AUGUST 5, 2000 BURNING SMELL COMING IN THROUGH VENTS AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND THEN VEHICLE VEERED TO ONE SIDE. LEFT FRONT WAS SMOKING AND VERY HOT. I WAS OUT OF STATE AT THE TIME AND THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THE BRAKES WEREN'T INSTALLED CORRECTLY THAT THE FRONT LEFT WAS WARPED AND NEEDED REPLACING. NORWOOD DODGE INSPECTED IT AND SAID ALL WAS OK. RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL 891OR892 REGARDING FUEL AND BRAKE LINES RUBBING ON CHASIS. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO GET FIXED. BRAKES DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY SINCE THEN. WHILE DOING 65MPH AND ON THE GAS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP OUT OF THE BLUE AND I SKIDDED ABOUT 40'. HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SOMETHING BREAK UNDER THE TRUCK. I THINK THE SUDDEN STOP DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION OR DIFFERENTIAL (WHICH WAS WORKED ON THE DAY BEFORE) HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS ON 12 DIFFERENT OCCURANCES AND COUNTING. AT PRESENT VEHICLE IS OUT OF COMMISSION AND I WILL NOT DRIVE EVEN IF THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT. I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF AND OTHERS NOT ONCE BUT TWICE DUE TO BRAKES NOT WORKING AND BRAKES LOCKING UP WHILE ON THE GAS. DEALER HAS NO CLUE WHAT IS WRONG.*AK

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM DAIMLER-CHRYSLER FOR THE FUEL LINE (RECALL NUMBER 892). THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS CONTACTING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, AND COULD EVENTUALLY WEAR THROUGH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY INSTALLED AN "ISOLATOR" ON THE FUEL LINE. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I HAPPEND TO BE LOOKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, AND NOTED THAT THE "ISOLATOR" AMOUNTED TO NOTHING MORE THAN A SMALL CYLLINDER OF RUBBER THAT WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE FUEL LINE TO SEPARATE IT FROM THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISOLATOR HAS SLIPPED DOWN AND THE FUEL LINE IS AGAIN CONTACTING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTED THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT ABRASION ON THE FUEL LINE, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT LEAKING. I SHOVED THE RUBBER PIECE BACK INTO PLACE. HOWEVER, IT IS UNLIKELY TO STAY THERE. THIS IS A 4X4 PICKUP, AND IT IS USED OFF ROAD ON A REGULAR BASIS. HOWEVER, THE ISOLATOR HAD SLIPPED WHEN THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD BEEN DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS IS AN INADEQUATE FIX. DAIMLER-CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL LINE WITH A NEW ONE THAT IS PRE-FORMED TO CLEAR THE BODY OF THE TRUCK AT ALL POINTS.*AK

AFTER RECALL REPAIR 00V-199 OF THE FUEL LINE FITTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN BUCKING LIKE THE FUEL WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSORS FAILED, VEHICLE RAN PERFECTLY BEFORE RECALL WORK. NLM

AIR CONDITIONER--TESTED BY DEALER BUT COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. DYE PLACED IN SYSTEM AND FREON REFILLED. IN ONE WEEK'S TIME, AC WAS WARM AGAIN. DEALER INSPECTED AGAIN AND REPLACED CONDENSOR, REFILLED FREON. SAME PROBLEM AGAIN IN ABOUT 10 DAYS TIME. PRESENTLY HAVING CHECKED AGAIN.

RECALL # OOV199000 DAIMLER CHRYSLER/FUEL LINE/CAB UNDERBODY: DEALERSHIP (OWNER) REFUSED TO HONOR RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE TRUCK WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP. OWNER VERY NASTY AND ABRUPT TO CUSTOMERS.*AK

AUTHORIZED DODGE DEALER INSPECTED WITH EMPLOYEE OF CHRYSLER/ STATED THERE WAS NO DEFECT WITH MANUFACTURER ALTHOUGH I DON'T FEEL THAT IT CANNOT BE BECAUSE THIS PEELING/FLAKING HAS NOT OCCURRED ELSEWHERE ON THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. *AK

WE PURCHASED A 1997 DODGE TRUCK IN OCT. 1996. THHE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 42000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD BY BOTH OUR LOCAL SOUTH CAROLINA DEALER AND BY ED MURDOCK WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO OUR WARRANTY BEING UP AT 36000 MILES. WE CALLED THE 800 # TO CHRYSLERS COMPLAINT LINE AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. WE HAD OUR TRUCK REPAIRED AT A LOCAL INDEPENDENT GARAGEAND ONLY THEN DID WE DISCOVER THAT OUR TRUCK HAD A 1998 PROTOTYPE TRANSMISSION IN IT. PARTS WERE ORDERED FROM ATLANTA THAT WOULD NOT FIT OUR 1997 DODGE DAKOTA BECAUSE OF THE PROTOTYPE TRANSMISSION AND HAD TO BE RETURNED AND REORDERED FROM DETROIT. ALA IN ALL WE WERE WITHOUT OUR TRUCK FOR 29 DAYS WHILE THIS MESS WAS SORTED OUT. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED A TRUCK WITH A PROTOTYPE ASIAN TRANSMISSION IN IT IF WE HAD BEEN TOLD. THHE ED MURDOCK DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REIMBURSE US FOR OUR EXPENCES, CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BECAUSE NOT ONLY WERE WE MISLED IN OUR PURCHASE BUT ANY TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO PERFORM LONGER THAN 42000 MILES. WE WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE WORK DONE AND OUR EXPENSE FOR A RENTAL CAR DURING THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT WE WERE SORTING THIS MESS OUT AND STILL HAVING TO GO ON WITH OUR DAILY ROUTINE. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO STAND BEHIND THHE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO THE ONE WHO SELLS THEM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP , I HAVE SENT SEVERAL OTH

I AM A CANADIAN DODGE TRUCK OWNER THAT FEELS THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION MAY WISH TO KEEP TABS ON A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DISC BRAKES ON THE 1997, DAKOTA. I'VE HAD 3 SETS OF ROTORS AND PADS INTALLED NOW AND STILL GET SQUEALING GRINDING AND GRABBING. I THINK THERE IS MORE TO PROBLEM THAN CHRYSLER LEADS ME TO BELIEVE. *AK

SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WILL NOT ENGAGE AT ANY SPEED. THEN IF DOES ENGAGE SOMETIMES IT CANNOT BE MANUALLY TURNED OFF. WHEN BOBBY GALE DODGE HOOKED THE SCANNER UP TO IT THEY HAD NO READING AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD'NT TURN ON. SO THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW SWITCH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. AND EVERYTIME I GET READY TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN IT WORKS. THE FIVE TIMES THAT I HAVE TAKING IT UP TO THE DEALER SHIP THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK.*AK

PREMATURE WEAR OF THE BALL JOINTS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAIL.*AK

PRIOR TO EXP. OF WARRANTY, (36000 MILES) VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR A COMPLETE INSPECTION. WAS INFORMED BALL JOINTS AND IDLER ARM WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT. PREVIOUS OWNER, (A PERSONAL FRIEND) AND MYSELF NEVER '4 WHEELED' THE TRUCK. NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY USE. VIEWED INTERNET BULLETIN BOARDS ON DAKOTA MAINT PROBLEMS, AND FOUND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH EARLY BALL JOINT/IDLER ARM FAILURES. 36,000 MILES UNDER NORMAL USE IS FAR TO EARLY FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I FEAR THERE ARE MANY DAKOTA'S OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

PASSENGER'S AIR BAG NEEDS AN ON/OFF SWITCH. SMALL CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO BE TRANSPORTED IN FRONT SEAT FROM TIME TO TIME. DEALER SAID SWITCH WAS AVAILABLE, BUT I NEEDED A PERMIT FROM NHTSA TO HAVE INSTALLED. *AK

VEHICLE SHOWS RPMS BUT DOESN'T ACCELERATE AS FAR AS MOVING UP TO SPEED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED & IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION REPAIRS ARE NOT NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.*AK

THREE INCIDENTS OF LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURE. 1ST FAILURE AT 16-17K MILES, 2ND AT 36K MI. THESE WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY DODGE AFTER SOME DENIAL THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT ALL. 3RD FAILURE AT 60K MI. DEALER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH LOWER BALL JOINTS. TWO INDEPENDANT REPAIR SHOPS HAVE VARIFIED LOWER JOINTS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT WITH ONE STATING "VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF VERY WORN CONDITION OF ONE BALL JOINT!" UPPER BALL JOINTS ARE ALSO WORN AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF, ON A COUPLE OF TIMES, A CODE 12 WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. A MECHANIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CODE MEANT THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOTALLED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

I HAVE TWO RECURRING PROBLEMS. 1) I HAD THE TRUCK IN 3 SEPARATE TIMES FOR RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER, SO FAR, REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND FAN CLUTCH, BOTH UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE AGAIN, THE ENGINE IS MAKING THE SAME RATTLING NOISE. THIS NOISE STARTED AROUND 58,000 MILES. ALSO, MY ENGINE CURRENTLY HAS AN OIL LEAK. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS THE FRONT SEAL. THE DEALER BROKE THIS SEAL WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE SEAL REPAIR. 2) I HAD THE TRUCK IN 3 TIMES FOR ANOTHER RATTLING NOISE IN THE A/C (INTERIOR). THE DEALER CLAIMED THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THE FOURTH VISIT AND CONVERSATION WITH MANAGER PROVED THAT THE NOISE, IN FACT, WAS NOT NORMAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR. AT THE CURRENT MILEAGE, THE A/C IS ONCE AGAIN MAKING THE SAME NOISE. IN SUMMARY, THE ENGINE IS PRODUCING A RATTLING NOISE. THE A/C IS ALSO PRODUCING A RATTLING NOISE (BOTH ITEMS ARE SEPARATE NOISES AS VALIDATED BY THE DEALERSHIP). *AK

BRAKE CALIPIERS WILL FREEZE AND GET STUCK, CAUSING DAMAGE TO PADS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ON 2/27/2000 I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. MY PROBLEM BEING MY TRANSMISSIOM WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. WHEN IT IS SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE VECHICLE MAY HESITATE AND NOT MOVE THEN VIOLENTLY SLAM INTO GEAR. ON ONE OCCASION MY NEICE SETTING IN THE BACK SEAT HEAD WAS SLAMMED INTO THE REAR WINDOW GLASS AS THE VECHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I HAVE A VIDEO TAPE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILING TO PROPERLY ENGAUGE. I WAS ABLE TO REACH IN THE BACK SEAT TAKE THE CAMERA OUT OF THE CASE INSERT THE BATTERY FILM AND SHOOT A VIDEO OF THE TRUCK SETTING IN GEAR THEN VIOLENTLY LURCHING FORWARD. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAID ON THE SERVICE ORDER "CANNOT DUPLICATE SITITION. I SHOWED HIM THE VIDEO AND HE ADMITTED I HAVE A PROBLEM BUT HE COULDNT HELP ME BECAUSE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT REIMBURSE HIM. *AK

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM PULSATES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DISC WHICH IS CORRODED FROM THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WITH VISIBLE BLISTERS WHICH HAS CAUSED A HOLE IN THE PLATE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

BROKEN WIRES IN THE STEERING COLUMN, CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO BECOME INOPERABLE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. OWNER HAS HAD THE WIRING FIXED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC.*AK *ML

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD JERK LIKE NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED & WATER WAS FOUND IN GASOLINE. *AK

THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPENED IN ARIZONA ON I-40,I HAD JUST PASSED AN 18 WHEELER AND PULLED BACK IN HIS LANE WHEN I RAN OUT OF FUEL, MY FUEL GAUGE INDICATED I HAD A QUATER OF A TANK LEFT. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ON MY RETURN HOME. I JUST HAD A SECOND FUEL FAILURE AT HOME.AGAIN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS A QUATER OF A TANK OF FUEL . I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE DEALER TO REPORT THIS FAILURE. *AK

BRAKES WORN OUT PREMATURELY.(ATTORNEY FOR CLIENT)YH

IN A REAR END COLLISION DRIVER'S SEATBACK BROKE, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO FALL BACK, AND STRIKE THE REAR WINDOW WITH HIS HEAD, BREAKING THE WINDOW. *AK *ML

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAUGE AFTER BEING IN REVERSE FOR A PERIOD OF A MINIUTE OR MORE THIS HAS HAPPENED 14 + TIMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK A VIDIO TAPE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GURLEY LEEP THAT CLEARLY SHOWS IT IN DRIVE WITH THE SHIFT IN DRIVE WITH THE TACKOMETER RISING AND FALLING THEN SLAMING INTO GEAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS BECAUSE CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT . IT WAS BETWEEN ME AND CHRYSLER. I PERSONALLY WONDER IF THE DISTRICT REPRESENTITIVE ISNT WAITING FOR IT TO FAIL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN PICK UP THE REPAIR TAB. IT VIOLENTLY SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN PUT IN DRIVE THROWING YOU BACK IN THE SEAT AND SLAMMING THE POWERTRAIN IN ENGAUGEMENT. A CERTIFIED LETTER WAS SENT TO CHRYSLER# Z257635146 4/14/199 SIGNED FOR BY KYLE C AND THE DEALER GURLEY LEEP ATTEN MIKE LEEP Z257635147 4/12/1999 SIGNED FOR BY KRISTY ROBERTS BOTH LETTERS WERE IGNORED WITH NO TELEPHONE CALL OR LETTER RETURNED.
