I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA 4X4 4 DOOR MID SIZED PICK UP. IT HAS 89,000 MILES ON IT. I EXPERIENCED BRAKING PROBLEMS ON 9/10/16 AND BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOPS FOR COMPLETE BREAK INSPECTION WHERE REPAIRS WERE DONE. ON 1/25/17 I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG SENSOR RECALL WHERE THE TRUCK WAS LOOKED AT BY DODGE MECHANICS. ON 1/30/17 WHILE DRIVING, MY TRUCK LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY. THE PEDAL WHEN TO THE FLOOR, DESPITE RAPIDLY PUMPING THE BREAKS, I REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE HAD IT HAPPENED IN ANOTHER LOCATION. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL STATION WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE BREAK LINES HAD ROTTED OUT CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE. I AM NOT READING ON LINE THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RECALL OR RECOMMENDED SPECIAL MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED FOR THESE VEHICLE OWNERS. I WAS JUST HEADING OVER A SERIES OF EXTENSIVE HILLS WHERE SUCH BRAKE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET WELL UNDER 20 MPH. I WILL PROVIDE REPAIR RECORDS WHEN I RECEIVE THEM. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ON 7/22/16 ABOUT FCA RECALL S43/NTSA 16V-352. NO MORE INFO HAS BEEN RECEIVED AS OF 1/30/17. SIX MONTHS AND THE STATUS IS THAT NO REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SIX MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG FOR A REPAIR.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES BY ITSELF. IT DOES IT SOMETIMES WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH REMOTE AND OTHER TIMES WHEN NOTHING IS DONE. THERE IS NO CERTAIN THING THAT I DO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT DOES IT IN DRIVE ALSO BUT I HAVE ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN MY DRIVEWAY. ENGAGING 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE DRIVING OR IN DRIVE, I BELIEVE FALLS UNDER UNSAFE CONDITIONS. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON DIFFERENT DODGE FORUMS AND FOUND THAT 04-05 DURANGOS AND DAKOTAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL AS SEEN IN THE SCREENSHOT AT HTTP://PRNTSCR.COM/DUEXX7 THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR OVER HALF A YEAR AND YET NO REMEDY IS YET AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN A HIGH HEAT AREA (LAS VEGAS VICINITY) AND "HEAT AGING" IS LISTED AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS RECALL CANNOT YET BE REMEDIED AS THE LACK OF A REMEDY ENDANGERS MY FAMILY.

I HAVE BEEN APPOINTED SEVERAL TIMES LISTED FOR APPOINTMENTS CALL DIRECTLY TO FIELD OPERATIONS HEARD THE PROTOCOL AND I UNDERSTAND I CAN USE MY AUTO RESQUESTING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN I JUST RECEIVE A APOLOGY NOTE,,,DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I KEEP RECEIVING THESE RECALL WITH OUT NO PROTOCOL FOR THE DEALER TO TAKE ACTION? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE WIRING HARNESS AND ALARM SYSTEM WERE BURNED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD SHIFT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

RANDOMLY, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL ENGAGE WHEN NOT SELECTED. SO FAR THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED (IN PARKING LOTS). I CAN TELL IT IS ENGAGED BECAUSE I GET WHEEL SLIPPAGE WHILE TURNING. AFTER STRAIGHTENING THE TRUCK AND SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, THE "SERVICE 4WD" LIGHT OR "4LO" LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING, BUT THE TRANSFER CASE DOES NOT APPEAR TO ACTUALLY SHIFT. NO DAMAGE TO DRIVE TRAIN SO FAR. THIRDLY, THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SHIFT WHILE THE TRUCK IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE IGNITION IS OFF, AND THE KEY REMOVED, WITH NO-ONE IN THE VEHICLE. I CAN HEAR THE SHIFT MOTOR TRYING TO ENGAGE.

SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. MY TRUCK HAS 75,186 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. FOR THE PAST 10,000 MILES OR SO, IT HAS BEEN SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND LO 4X4 RANDOMLY BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERACTION. EVEN SITTING PARKED YOU COULD HEAR IT CYCLING AND SHIFTING ELECTRONICALLY IN AND OUT OF 4X4. I RECENTLY PARKED IT IN A GRASS FIELD NEAR A POND AND LEFT IT - WAS WORKING FINE WHEN I PULLED IN. CAME BACK ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, GOT IN, STARTED IT AND TRIED TO GO... NOTHING AT ALL. IT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL (RED "N" LIGHTED) AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR FORWARD OR REVERSE. ROLLED FREELY NOW BOTH DIRECTIONS. HAD TO GET IT TOWED OUT OF THE FIELD AND UP TO THE ROADWAY AND THEN ANOTHER COMPANY TO COME LOAD IT AND TOW IT TO THE SHOP. SEARCHED ONLINE - THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR INSTANCES ABOUT THIS VEHICLE SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEARS RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN. WHY HASN'T THIS ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MECHANISM BEEN RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? MY TRUCK EASILY ROLLED REGARDLESS OF THE SHIFTING POSITION. JUST LUCKY I WAS ON FLAT LAND IN A FIELD AT THIS TIME AND NOT ON A SLOPING STREET - HORRIBLE TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED LAST WEEK WHEN I PARKED IN THE SLOPING PARKING LOT AT TEH SCHOOL ABOVE THE FOOTBALL CROWD AT THE GAME BELOW. TOO TERRIBLE TO IMAGINE IF IT WOULD HAVE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AT THAT TIME.

TAKATA RECALL I AM UPSET AT THE WAY THESE TAKATA RECALLS ARE BEING HANDLED BY DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURER. NEITHER DEALER OR MANUFACTURER SEEM TO HAVE A HANDLE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, DISSEMINATING PROPER INFORMATION TO CUSTOMERS, ETC. I JUST RETURNED FROM WASTING THIS MORNING AT A DODGE DEALER BECAUSE I SCHEDULED THE WORK, AND WHEN I GOT THERE WAS TOLD NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN I SCHEDULED THE WORK. I LIVE 45 MINUTES ONE WAY, SO IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE THESE USELESS TRIPS. I THINK MUCH PRESSURE SHOULD BE EXERTED ON MANUFACTURERS TO DIVERT AIRBAGS TO RECALLS, AND PULL THE AIRBAGS AWAY FROM NEW CAR PRODUCTION UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THERE SHOULD ALSO BE ONE PERSON IN CHARGE OF AIRBAG RECALLS AT EACH DEALERSHIP TO COORDINATE THE FLOW OF INFORMATION, SCHEDULING, PARTS, ETC. AND TAKATA SHOULD PAY THE BILL FOR THESE PERSONS. THANK YOU. *TR

ON OCTOBER 5, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:45 P.M., L ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AT A SPEED OF 55 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO A SPEED OF 60 MILES AND HIGHER. I TESTED THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM TWICE MORE AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THE VEHICLE NEVER SLOWED DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ON DAM NECK ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A CITY STREET. AFTER THIS OCCURRED MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I THINK THERE MAY BE OTHER VEHICLES THAT COULD HAVE THIS SAME MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

SIGNED UP FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL ON JULY 22, 2016. I HAVE WAITED OVER TWO AND A HALF MONTHS TO BE NOTIFIED TO BRING MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE AIRBAG REPLACED. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO 1-800-853-1403, ONLY TO HAVE BEEN HUNG UP ON. THEY LEAVE ME AND MY PASSENGER IN DANGER. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M WORRIED EACH TIME I HAVE TO USE IT THAT HOPE THE AIRBAG DOES NOT EXPLODE. I NEED MY TRUCK AND NEED THEM TO REPAIR IT CAUSE THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET MY TRUCK AIRBAG REPLACED, I THINK I HAVE GIVEN THEM MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME.

4 WHEEL DRIVE IS TRYING TO ENGAGE ON IT'S OWN EVEN IF IT IS NOT RUNNING. I AM NOT GOING TO GO INTO DETAIL BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM KIND OF CURIOUS AS TO WHY, WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS, SOMETHING HASN'T BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARTED A TAPPING NOISE. HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT, AND FOUND OUT THE ROCKER ARM WAS OFF , FELL LOOSE IN THE VALVE COVER AND THE VALVE SEAT AND VALVE GUIDE WERE ALSO LOOSE WHICH HAS CAUSED THE ROCKER ARM TO FALL OFF.
