TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 DODGE DAKOTA. HE HEARD A CHATTER NOISE AND THE LIFTER NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE LIFTER FAILED IN THE CAM SHAFT WHICH AFFECTED THE ENGINE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 164,000. *AK
ON DAYS OVER 90 DEGREE TEMPERATURE THE ENGINE WILL REV VERY LOUD AT FIRST START, WHILE VEHICLE WILL BARELY MOVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FAN CLUTCH TWICE AND REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER THE REMEDIES DID NOT HELP. *JB THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHEN DRIVEN AT LOW SPEEDS THEN KICK INTO NORMAL SPEED, MAKE NOISE, AND THEN STOP. *SCC

THE ENGINES HAVE HIGH FAILURE RATE OF BUSHING FOR OIL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT. THIS CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR OF DISTRIBUTOR, WHICH WILL BREAK OFF THE END OF THE ROTOR, CAUSING INSTANT ENGINE FAILURE, LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE IS NO WARNING, SO IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (I WAS VERY NEARLY REARENDED). THIS FAILURE IS LISTED AS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON INTERNET SITES SUCH AS CAR POINT AND THE REPAIR PARTS ON ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. IF A INEXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS THIS OCCUR, AND DOES NOT CORRECTLY RESPOND SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WILL OCCUR. DODGE DOES NOT HAVE A REPAIR POLICY ON THIS. I AM AN ENGINEER, CAN GIVE MORE MUCH MORE DETAIL.*AK
