EXTENDED CAB DOORS WILL NOT OPEN WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCESS TIRE CHANGING TOOLS. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I'VE DISCOVERED THIS HAPPENS TO MANY DODGE DAKOTA EXTENDED CAB TRUCKS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

DRIVING IN OUR LANE ON A CITY STREET GOING 40 MPH AS A VEHICLE TRIED TO TURN INTO A GAS STATION, CROSSING OUR LANE RIGHT FRONT OF US AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE THE TURN. TO AVOID A FULL BLOWN HEAD ON COLLISION, I SWERVED AND WE HIT FRONT DRIVER SIDE VS FRONT DRIVER SIDE. GOING 40 MPH, AND THE SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THAT BEING MY MAIN CONCERN WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THE SPEED BEING CONSIDERED AND HITTING FRONT ON.

MY ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CANNOT RESTART THE ENGINE UNTIL I HAVE STOPPED, SHIFTED TO PARK, AND CYCLED THE IGNITION TO OFF. THE ENGINE STALLING STARTED AS A LOW/SLOW IDLE CONDITION, AND NOW HAS ESCALATED TO CUTTING OFF AT FULL ACCELERATION WHILE MERGING INTO EXPRESSWAY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DATES. I AM SELECTING THE DATE OF MY LAST REMEMBERED OCCASION.

MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS ENGAGING ON IT'S OWN. THE SHIFT MOTOR ENGAGES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WILL ENGAGE ON IT'S OWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TESTED AT A CERTIFIED GARAGE AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING DODGE/CHRYSLER ISSUES, I HAVE FOUND THAT QUITE A FEW OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY ALSO CHANGED THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF CHRYSLER IS GOING TO FIX THEIR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DODGE FOUR WHEEL DRIVES. *TR

AS I START THE TRUCK, IT KICKS WHEN I SHIFT TO DRIVE AND START TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER NEAR ME WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE RACK AND PINION AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE TRUCK KEEPS DOING THE KICK OR JUMPS GEARS. MAYBE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE CABLE OR THE SHIFTER. IT KEEPS DOING THIS TO THIS DAY AND GETTING WORSE. NOW I HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER TO DRIVE AND PUT IT BACK TO PARK TO START THE TRUCK. ALSO THE IGNITION STAYS ON SOMETIMES WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED AND THIS DRAINS THE BATTERY. THE TRUCK SEEMS TO USE WAY TO MUCH GAS FOR THE DRIVING I DO. MY JOB IS LESS THAN FIVE MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND IT USES A LOT OF GAS ABOUT 10.00 EVERY DAY FOR SUCH A SHORT DISTANCE.
