|---|---|
| 8200 | Water leaks onto the passenger side floor through the cowl and two dealers never found or fixed the problem? |
| 9500 | Rainy day wipers stopped working pulled off exit and checked the wiper motot to see if it was hot. It was ok, when i went to re start the truck it wouldn't start. Dealer found a fuse blown in fuse panel under the hood. Never had this problem again. |
| 11000 | Truck set for about a month,when i started it the lifters tapped as if there was no oil in it and oil pressure did not register at all. check engine lite stayed on. Vehicle towed to Brandon Dodge Tampa FL. Dealer could not pull any code from computer and they said the converter was the tapping noise i heard. they changed the converter,ruining the muffler in the prosess. I later discovered that the mopar oil filters were junk and started using fram and castor 10-40 oil never incured this ever again and the truck sits most of the time, also after hearing a wineing noise in the transmission they said they rebuilt it? I checked only to discover there was no wrench marks on any of the bolts on the starter,bell housing,nor on the transmission pan. I rebuilt it myself figuring the warrenty that came with it I had toilet paper to wipe my ass with. From that day on i discovered that i still like my dodge dakota sport and she will never see any dealership half assed backyard shade tree so called mechanics I should have turned them into Chrysler Corp. |
