WHEN APPLIED BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH, THE REAR BRAKES WILL PULSE CAUSING THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK TO HOP. THE REAR DRUMS ARE WARPED BUT "HARDLY WORN" ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTOR AT MIDAS. THE TECHNICIAN AT MIDAS TOLD ME THAT RE-SURFACING THE DRUMS WOULDN'T FIX THE PULSING & HOPPING PROBLEM. I FIRST REALLY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AT AROUND 17K MILES AND IT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT AND REOCCURRING EVER SINCE. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND RECALLS OR TSB'S FROM DODGE (DAIMLERCHRYSLER) REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN ISSUED THAT I COULD FIND. THERE ARE, HOWEVER, MANY OWNERS WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR DODGE DAKOTAS AS IS EVIDENT BUT THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN POSTED ON VARIOUS SITES ON THE INTERNET.*AK

THIS PROBLEM HAS TO DEAL WITH A ROUGH/LOW IDLE AND OFF IDLE HESITATION WHICH SOMETIMES RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN CROSSING HIGHWAYS. THE IN GEAR WARM IDLE IS AT A VERY ROUGH 500-600RPM. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON THE IDLE JUMPS UP TO A FAIRLY SMOOTH 700 RPM, AND THE TRUCK RUNS FINE. THIS VEHICLE HAS…

THIS PROBLEM HAS TO DEAL WITH A ROUGH/LOW IDLE AND OFF IDLE HESITATION WHICH SOMETIMES RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN CROSSING HIGHWAYS. THE IN GEAR WARM IDLE IS AT A VERY ROUGH 500-600RPM. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON THE IDLE JUMPS UP TO A FAIRLY SMOOTH 700 RPM, AND THE TRUCK RUNS FINE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL CURRENT UPDATES AND RECALLS PERFORMED. THE DEALER HAS CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND IAC MOTOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE PROBLEM IS LESS EVIDENT IN COLD WEATHER OR WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE; ONCE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ONCE WHEN CROSSING THE HIGHWAY. THE ROUGH IDLE IS ALWAYS PRESENT (SOMETIMES WORSE THAN OTHERS), BUT THE STALLING IS VERY INTERMITENT. I AM AFFRAID THAT THIS WILL AT SOME POINT CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

ON 06/22/01, THE REAR WHEEL OF OUR DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB CAME OFF THE TRUCK WHILE TOWING A HORSE TRAILER. AFTER IT WAS TOWED TO SUNSET CHRYSTLER DEALERSHIP IN GRENADA, MS, THEY TURNED IN TO THE WARRANTY THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN WRECKED AND THAT IS WHY THE WHEEL CAME OFF. SINCE THEN WE FIXED THE REAR WHEEL BY REPLACING THE LUG BOLTS AND NUTS WITH SOME THAT ARE NOT A DODGE PRODUCT. WE FOUND OUT AT THE TIME THAT YOU CAN NOT ORDER THE REAR LUG BOLTS FOR THE DODGE DAKOTA QEADCAB. WE ARE NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE DOING THE SAME THING. THE LUG BOLTS ARE COMING LOOSE AND REQUIRING TIGHTENING ALMOST DAILY. A MECHANIC AT APPLEWHITE'S GARAGE IN WINONA, MS LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID THAT THERE IS A SHIM BEHIND THE RIM ON EACH LUG BOLT. WE CAN NOT FIND ANYONE THAT KNOWS WHAT OR WHY THESE ARE ON THE LUG BOLTS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARRADOUS PROBLEM.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4), IF MOISTURE LEAKS INTO THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINT, EVACUATION OF THE LUBRICANT AND CORROSION OF THE JOINT MAY CAUSE THE JOINT TO WEAR OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION, WHICH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE HEARD BY THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE UPPER BALL JOINT MAY ALLOW IT TO SEPARATE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINTS. THIS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON DECEMBER 21, 2004. OWNERS CAN CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS. SOUND DEADENER MATERIAL INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL COULD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE COVER AND HOUSING. NOTE: THE RAM PICKUP TRUCKS WERE BUILT AT THE WARREN ASSEMBLY PLANT ("S" IN THE 11TH VIN POSITION) FROM MAY 16, 2000 THROUGH OCTOBER 23, 2000; ST. LOUIS NORTH ASSEMBLY PLANT ("J" IN THE 11TH VIN POSITION) FROM MAY 19, 2000 THROUGH OCTOBER 23, 2000; LAGO ALBERTO ASSEMBLY PLANT ("M" IN THE 11TH VIN POSITION) FROM MAY 23, 2000 THROUGH OCTOBER 23, 2000; AND SALTILLO ASSEMBLY PLANT ("G" IN THE 11TH VIN POSITION) FROM MAY 23, 2000 THROUGH OCTOBER 23, 2000. IMPORTANT: VEHICLES THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD THE PROPER CLOCKSPRING INSTALLED, ACCORDING TO WARRANTY RECORDS, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL. IN ADDITION, 1997-2000 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD A SUSPECT REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRING INSTALLED, ACCORDING TO WARRANTY RECORDS, HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS RECALL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE MATERIAL COULD INTERFERE WITH THE CLOCKSPRING RIBBON AND CAUSE AN OPEN CIRCUIT. THE DRIVER AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL BECOME DISABLED, AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 18, 2001. ALSO SOME 1997-200 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THAT, ACCORDING TO WARRANTY RECORDS, HAVE HAD A SUSPECT REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRING INSTALLED, WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS BUILT WITH 2.5L ENGINES. SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE TUBE AND THE POWER STEERING HOSE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A PUNCTURE OF THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE TUBE CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING FORCE AT THE FRONT WHEELS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE TUBE AND POWER STEERING HOSE FOR WEAR. IF WEAR IS EVIDENT, THE BRAKE TUBE AND/OR POWER STEERING HOSE WILL BE REPLACED. A POWER STEERING STANDOFF BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED ON ALL VEHICLES TO ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE TUBE AND POWER STEERING HOSE IS MAINTAINED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 4.7L ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAY EXPEL FLUID FROM THE FILL TUBE DURING NORMAL TEMPERATURE OPERATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM AND IGNITION OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL SHORTEN THE VENT HOSE AND ASSURE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS. SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE REAR AXLE VENT HOSE AND THE BRAKE HOSE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A PUNCTURE IN THE REAR BRAKE HOSE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING FORCE AT THE REAR WHEELS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE HOSE FOR EVIDENCE OF WEAR. WORN BRAKE HOSES WILL BE REPLACED. THE REAR VENT HOSE WILL BE SHORTENED BY 3 INCHES AND A CLIP WILL BE INSTALLED TO ASSURE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AXLE VENT LINE AND BRAKE HOSE IS MAINTAINED.
