THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY DAKOTA KEEPS FALLING APART. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT 4 OR 5 TIMES NOW (THE FIRST TIME WAS NOT LONG AFTER I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE). EACH TIME THEY PUT A NEW CONVERTER ON, IT FALLS APART WITHIN A YEARS TIME. I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY BLAME IT ON FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THE CONVERTER. I KNOW OTHER DAKOTA OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE GIVEN THE SAME STORY (JUST FAULTY MANUFACTURING). I E-MAILED DODGE, BUT THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE DEALER. IS ANYONE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS? MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A NEW CONVERTER WHEN THIS NEW ONE FALLS APART. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS IS ANYTHING BEING DONE??? MY BRAKES ALSO MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN...
ENGINE EXPERIENCES ROUGH AND LOW IDLE, AND STALLING, DEALER HAS REPLACED THROTTLE BODY, MANIFOLD GASKETS, AND VALVE BODY, HOWEVER STALLING STILL EXISTS, DEALER STATED THE COMBINATION OF STOPPING, SHIFTING, AND THE TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL, THERE WAS ALSO AN OIL PAN LEAK AND COOLANT LEAK, PURGE SOLENOID WAS ALSO NOISY. REVERSE LIGHTS HAD A DEFECTIVE SWITCH AND THE HEADLIGHTS HAD A DEFECTIVE SWITCH. EXHAUST WAS NOISY AND THE EXHAUST BOLTS WERE BROKEN. MOLDINGS WERE LEAKING, DEALER HAD TO ALSO REPLACE CARPET. BRAKES LOCKED UP, DEALER FOUND THEY WERE FULL OF BRAKE DUST, FRONT ROTORS GOUGED, DEALER REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS. STEERING GEAR BOX AND POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY BOTH LEAKED. TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED MANY PROBLEMS, A DEFECTIVE LEAKING PRESSURE LINE, VIBRATION IN DRIVELINE, VEHICLE WOULD SLAM IN REVERSE WHEN GOING FROM DRIVE, DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED DUE TO A HUMMING NOISE, AND THE GEAR SHIFT BROKE....
