BACK ON 1/14/2015 I BROUGHT MY 2006 DODGE DAKOTA TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF RUSTED BRAKE LINES. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, AT 45K MI., MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED TO FLICKER ON START-UP. SHORTLY THEREAFTER IT WOULD REMAIN LIT AFTER START-UP. I WAITED TO REQUEST RE-SERVICING MY VEHICLE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE AIR BAGS WERE ON RECALL. THEREFORE, I WAITED UNTIL I WAS GIVEN THE CALL TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. THE DATE FOR SERVICING WAS 10/30/2015. UPON COMPLETION OF THE AI BAG REPLACEMENT I WAS TOLD MY NEW AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY NOR DOES THE HORN WORK. THIS WOULD REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL $600.00. THE CAUSE OF THIS SAFETY FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING UNIT. MY QUESTION IS AT UNDER 50KMI. IS IT NORMAL FOR THIS SAFETY COMPONENT TO FAIL AND IS THIS A CONSTANT IN OTHER VEHICLES? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT PLACING FAULTY SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT IN VEHICLES ONLY INCREASES PROFIT MARGINS,OVER AND ABOVE THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE EXPENSES.

MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. THE ONLY SERVICE COMPANY TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS ON THE ISLAND OF MAUI IS JIM FALK CHRYLSER DODGE JEEP RAM, AT 221 PUUNENE AVE, KAHULUI, HI 96732 ON MAUI (808 280-1774). IT TOOK OVER A YEAR AND A LOT OF COMPLAINING UNTIL THE MANAGER, AARON SERRAO, SAW TO IT THAT MY DRIVER AIRBAGS WERE FIXED LAST YEAR. NOW WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS/INFLATORS ON THE RECALL LIST, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVE. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN HAVE THE REPAIR PARTS SENT TO JIM FALK AUTO FOR MY REPAIR? WHEN I TALK TO THEM, THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL COME IN AND THAT I SHOULD JUST CONTINUE TO CALL EVERY FEW MONTHS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY TOLD ME IN 2014 WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG CORRECTED. NOW I NEED THE PASSENGER SIDE CORRECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T NOT WANT TO FURTHER JEOPARDIZE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. ALSO, I HAD SIDE AIRBAGS INSTALLED PRIOR TO PURCHASE, WILL THESE NEED REPAIR, TOO?

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE MY DASH LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE RECALL SHOULD COVER 2006 MODELS. WHEN WE RUN THE VIN NUMBER IT DOES NOT SHOW FOR MY VEHICLE BUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ALL OTHER 2006 DODGE DURANGO BECAUSE IT IS A FIRE RISK. CAN YOU PLEASE SEE IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT MY VEHICLE JUST GOT MISSED.

MY TRUCK HAS STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH STEERING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT JUST ABOUT ANY SPEED, BUT IS MOST NOTICEABLE ONCE I GET TO ~45 MPH. AS A TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OF CENTER, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND REALLY HAVE TO WRESTLE THE WHEEL. WHEN I COME BACK TO CENTER, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S WORKING AGAIN, AND I END UP CRANKING THE STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH POWER I NEEDED TO USE TO TURN AWAY FROM CENTER.
THE STEERING GETS HARD TO TURN LIKE IT IS GOING TO LOCK UP. I SPRAY IT WITH WD40. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS. THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN SCREWED UP FOREVER. I TURN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON THE THE RIGHT ONE BLINKS AND VISE VERSA. SOME TIMES THEY BOTH BLINK BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE TALKED TO THE LOCAL DODGE GARAGE AND ALL THEY SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I WASNT NOTIFIED BY DODGE ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG EITHER. LOOKED UP THE VIN NUMBER AFTER SEEING A REPORT ON TV. THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE DODGE GARAGE JUST FIXED THE AIR BAG ON JULY 21 AFTER I CALLED THEM FOR THE SECOND TIME TO SEE IF THE PART WAS IN. UPDATED 10/07/15*LJ UPDATED 12/08/2017*CN
TRUCK HAS AN AWD 5 SPEED 545RFE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE "SERVICE 4WD" CHECK LIGHT STARTED RANDOMLY COMING ON AND BLINKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE TRANSFER CONTROL CASE AT TIMES FELT LIKE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO AND AT TIMES DID SHIFT INTO 4HI OR 4LO. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY TOUCHING OF THE CONTROL SWITCH ON THE DASH. DEALER DISCLAIMS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DODGE DAKOTA, DURANGO AND JEEP OWNERS OVER VARIOUS MODEL YEARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, SOME OF WHOM HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING THE TRANSFER CASE AND CONTROL MODULES WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THOSE FEW WHO HAVE REPORTED FIXING THE PROBLEM HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION WHERE THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT SHIFT INTO LOW RANGE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND EXPLODE IS CAUSED BY CORRODED WIRING ON THE CIRCUIT INCLUDING THE TRANSFER CASE, TCU AND AIR CONDITIONING. AT THIS TIME THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AT THE TRANSFER CASE IS DISCONNECTED, EFFECTIVELY LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION IN AWD STATUS AND MAKING ALL LOW RANGES UNAVAILABLE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
