Consumer Description

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
