Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE DAKOTA. WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND THEN DRASTICALLY JERKED FORWARD. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. IN ADDITION, WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGN, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE MUST BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO COMPLETELY STOP. THE DEALER STATED THAT HE NEEDED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V555000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT). HOWEVER, REPAIRING THAT COMPONENT ALONE WOULD NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
