problem #1

Oct 212008

Dakota SLT 3.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

i bought this truck in summer of 2007. i loved it for a while until the driver side window stopped working at about 30000 miles, i was working far from home for a while and racked up enough miles to go over the warranty. the window would go down but i had to remove the plastic housing around the switch and literally pull the switch to the side almost breaking it to get it to go up. i recently removed the whole switch to see that the tab on the switch had shorted out. so i cleaned the corrosion off the connection and it worked fine again. two weeks later it was doing it again until all together the window wouldn't work and the window doesn't even go down. i know the switch works because the lights slightly dim when you use the switch i think the motor or something is broke now. this problem is a pain the ass only because i cant use a drive through and explaining to the cops why you have to get out of your truck or open the door is fun knowing they could think your up to something suspicious. i haven't had this fixed and when i get spare time to take apart the door panel and see what is going wrong or get an appraisal from a dealership on repair costs. dodge needs to start building quality trucks!!!
