What owners say
Earlier in the week the power door locks were working on and off. Two days later headlights started flashing on and off and making a clicking sound before they went out completely. Interior lights are also not working. Luckily, I was close enough to home and there was still enough twilight to make it home safely. I am going to bring the truck to dealer this week, but I read about a similar problem in the 2003 dodge dakotas.
No known event or indication of failure occurred prior to incident. Headlights, dash lights, interior lights, fog lights, door locks, keyless entry, intermittent wipers all ceased to function. This occurred at dawn on a rainy day. Had this occurred during the evening hours an accident may likely have occurred. Repair pending.
The lights on my 2002 dodge dakota started flashing and a few days later my lights, dash lights and power door locks stopped working. I have had 3 different auto mechanics look at it and no one can figure out what the problem is. My truck has 40,900 miles on it and no wrecks of any kind. My truck is an automatic.
The lights on my 2002 dodge dakota started flashing and a few days later my lights, dash lights and power door locks stopped working. I have had 3 different auto mechanics look at it and no one can figure out what the problem is. My truck has 40,900 miles on it and no wrecks of any kind. I read about a recall with this problem on dakota's and the factory states that they are recalling dakotas with manual transmissions only for this problem. My truck is an automatic.
Right rear door lock made buzzing noise when locked, which is startling when auto-lock engages on acceleration. Dealer repaired, and as I left parking lot, it began again, and was repaired. About 3 weeks later, left rear lock did the samething and was repaired. Of course, the dealer did not believe me until I took time off of work to take it to them. I asked them to replace all remaining motors, but they refused since it was still in warranty and not broken yet. Two months later, rear driver side automatic winow did not work.
