I am looking for all people that are willing to speak to my attorney about problems they are having with their 04 dakota's. I have had clunking noise coming from front end, whirling noise at idling gets louder when blinker on, windows make clunking noise while rolling up or down, sever e shaking while braking ( warped rotors), transmission leaking, and the list goes on. I am in the middle of lemon law and it took me a long time to be able to find an attorney. This one is excellent.

When the vehicle is cold transmission is not disconnecting from the engine. Once the vehicle warms it runs okay. Consumer stated that the vehicle will be left overnight at the dealers to see if they can duplicate the problem.
Transmission slips, rattling in the front suspension of the vehicle. Took this truck back to outten county chrysler numerous times and they would not fix any of the problems.
Transmission hesitates to shift gears.
After having the vehicle repaired four times, while driving at 65 MPH vehicle shuts down. Also, the gear dropped into lower gear and bucked.

Rep also states this is normal.bearing nosie is coming from the power steering pump. My 2004 dodge dakota sxt has been to the dealer 5 times and the dealer still cannot fix.
