MY 2005 DAKOTA HAS BEEN JUMPING IN AND OUT OF 4WD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YESTERDAY THE TRANSFERCASE LOCKED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAD SITTING IN MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY AND ROLLED INTO THE ROAD

MINE IS THE 2005 DODGE DAKOTA EXTRA CAB AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING/SHEARING AT THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS CAN CAUSE (AND IT HAS) A TICKING SOUND THAT GETS LOUDER AS YOU ACCELERATE. ONCE YOU HEAR THE TICKING SOUND, BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE ARE AFFECTED. THIS RESULTS IN POOR MILEAGE, OVERHEATING, ENGINE WILL STALL AT LOW IDLE, ULTIMATELY ALLOWING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE CABIN, POTENTIALLU, POISONING THE OCCUPANTS WITH CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEN REPLACED. THE 1ST DEALER SAID IT WASN'T REPAIRABLE. 2ND ONE SAID, 1400 $ PER SIDE TO EXTRACT BROKEN BOLTS AT THE REAR OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON BOTH SIDES OF MY 4.7 . 3RD REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THIS VERY COMMON ON THE 4.7 AND HE DOES ABOUT 10 A WEEK. HIS PRICE WAS 350 $ PER SIZE PLUS GASKET AND DOUGHNUT GASKET AT THE COLLECTOR. HEY! IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WHY ARE WE DODGE OWNERS BEING HOSTAGE BY HAVING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR OURSELVES AND PAY FOR IT? IT IS AN EMMISIONS ENGINEERING UNDERDESIGN THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND GET THIS SITUATION CORRECTED BEFORE SOME INNOCENT CHILD DIES FROM CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERING THE CABIN. NOT TO MENTION OTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS THAT MAY OCCUR BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS OVERWHELMED BY CARBON MONOXIDE AND RUNS DOWN 78 PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY PASSED OUT FROM THE CARBON MONOIXIDE FILLED CABIN WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE. DO. SOMETHING. TIME IS RUNNING OUT. BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT HEATERS WERE TURNED ON. AFTER THE PASSENGER EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE SEATS WERE VERY HOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT STARTED TO SMOKE AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 25 MILES TO THE FIRE STATION WHERE THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE SEAT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER BRICKNER'S OF ANTIGO INC. (123 E HIGHWAY 64, ANTIGO WI 54409) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A FUSE FOR THE HEATED SEATS WERE TURNED OFF. THE NEXT DAY THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AN AT THAT TIME WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V820000 (SEATS) AND THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE DISCONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000. *TT *JS *TT

THE TRANSFER CASE ON THIS VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR EVEN TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW RANGE WITH NO DRIVER INPUT. SHIFTING TO 4 LOW IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT TENDS TO LOCK UP THE DRIVE TRAIN WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA WITH LEATHER SEATS. I TURNED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEAT TO THE SEATS DROVE ABOUT TWO MILES TO DROP MY CHILD OFF TO SCHOOL. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME I NOTICED A BURN HOLE AND MELTED LEATHER AROUND THE HOLE. I HAVEN'T USED IT SINCE.
