Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE DAKOTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE REACHED THE FREEZING MARK, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT HAD TO START LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BECAUSE IT ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN WHEN IT WAS COLD OVERNIGHT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE CONTAMINATED. THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REFERENCED RECALL 07V5550000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: LEVER AND LINKAGE: COLUMN SHIFT). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,700.
