problem #1

Apr 252002

Dakota 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 20 miles
Since the purchase of my vehicle in April 02 I have had a problem with the acceleration when starting to move the vehicle. Basically when pressing on the gas pedal there is a dead spot (hesitation).if the vehicle accelerator is in the dead spot and the clutch is released this causes an unsafe condition.
