Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1999 dodge dakota wiring problem. My 1999 dodge dakota has a wiring problem that causes the cruise control to be stuck in the on position and causes the turn signal to freeze while at a long light. The cruise control is a dangerous situation since it can not be disengaged with the brake, you must manually turn the system off. Superior dodge in nicholasville, ky has already charged me for 2 hours labor to try and find the problem but have had no luck finding the shorted out wire yet.
Upper ball joints failed at 28,000,front bearings and hub assembly failed 47,000.now surging in cruise control.
Engine pings over 30 MPH, speed control sensor had to be replaced, suspension (sway bar, rack bushings, and control arm) need to be replaced to the tune of $700.00.
Got an ABS warning lamp (stayed lit) on the instrument panel when I started the car. When I drove down the road, the speedometer didn't work. I troubleshot the problem myself and corrected it. The speed sensor, mounted in the rear end, was bad (read "open" with an ohmmeter). I purchased a new sensor ($42) from the dealer and installed it. Car works ok now.
Vehicle vibrates and trembles without prior warning when accelerating. Dealership is aware of problem. *ak
While traveling on highway ABS braking light came on dashboard. Also, cruise control and airbags are not operable. Dealership is aware of problem.
Intermittently when driving motor will speed up and then come back down. Dealer has inspected vehicle and could not duplicate the problem. *ak consumer states dealer installed a throttle positioning sensor.
Sensor for speed controll above 15 miles per hour not working,causing engine check light to stay on.truck hesitates to change into gear when speed above that is trying to be reached.would like to know if there is a recall or factory warranty on this part and to find out where it is located on the vehicle and if it can be put on and reset without being taken to the dealer?
Vehicle will accelerate without warning. While in neutral or clutch depressed will rev up to 3800 RPM's without warning. Vehickle has been in a chrysler repair shop 6 times for same problem. Problem has returned each time. I fear that this vehicle has a design flaw.
