problem #2

May 072010

Dakota SLT 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles

Dodge was well-aware of the problem, but since it wasn't a safety problem, they ignored complaints that the transmission had something wrong with it. I had my trans fluid changed just before the repair and it had plenty of granular content to show that something was wearing-out prematurely. The dealer still maintained that nothing was wrong...

Dakota SLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

My 2006 Dakota shakes and makes noise going from 1st to 2nd. Dodge says it is normal for a Dakota. They will not fix it.
