I HAVE A LIGHT KNOCKING IN MY ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE, BUT UNABLE TO INDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN. THEY HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS, AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY ALL DODGE ENGINES MAKE THAT NOISE. UNKNOWN TO THEM, I HAVE 2 AND MY OTHER DOES NOT MAKE THE SAME NOISE. IT HAS OCCASIONALLY STALLED BOTH BACKING UP AND GOING FORWARD. THERE IS A PULLING TO THE RIGHT EVEN AFTER HAVING IT ALIGNED AND BALANCED. IT DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND WON'T STAY IN CRUISE CONTROL WHILE CLIMBING A HILL. ALSO MY OIL HOSE WAS LOOSE CAUSING A RATTLING UNDER THE HOOD. THE LIGHT SHOWING YOU THE GEAR YOUR IN DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. OVER ALL THE WORSE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED WITH A HEFTY TAG.
ONCE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT BACK FIRED. CONSUMER HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD, AND THE SPEED ONLY REACHED 2-5 MPH. *AK
THE DAY I BROUGHT MY 2003 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB HOME, I NOTICED A HOWLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES WHEN IN REVERSE. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE CAUSE AND FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE BREAKS NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN AND THEN THE NOISE WOULD STOP. TOOK TRUCK BACK FOR OIL CHANGE AFTER 3000 MILES AND INFORMED SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE TRUCK WAS STILL MAKING HOWLING NOISE. TOLD ME THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM AND THAT AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN HE WOULD CALL . I'M STILL WAITING. ALSO I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I AM CLIMBING A GRADE THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS FOR IT TO SHIFT. SOMETIMES THE SHIFT IS VERY HARSH AND AT OTHER TIMES IT MISSES...
