SERVICE BRAKES
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 DODGE DAKOTA 4X4 4 DOOR MID SIZED PICK UP. IT HAS 89,000 MILES ON IT. I EXPERIENCED BRAKING PROBLEMS ON 9/10/16 AND BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOPS FOR COMPLETE BREAK INSPECTION WHERE REPAIRS WERE DONE. ON 1/25/17 I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG SENSOR RECALL WHERE THE TRUCK WAS LOOKED AT BY DODGE MECHANICS. ON 1/30/17 WHILE DRIVING, MY TRUCK LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY. THE PEDAL WHEN TO THE FLOOR, DESPITE RAPIDLY PUMPING THE BREAKS, I REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE HAD IT HAPPENED IN ANOTHER LOCATION. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL STATION WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE BREAK LINES HAD ROTTED OUT CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE. I AM NOT READING ON LINE THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RECALL OR RECOMMENDED SPECIAL MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED FOR THESE VEHICLE OWNERS. I WAS JUST HEADING OVER A SERIES OF EXTENSIVE HILLS WHERE SUCH BRAKE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET WELL UNDER 20 MPH. I WILL PROVIDE REPAIR RECORDS WHEN I RECEIVE THEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES BY ITSELF. IT DOES IT SOMETIMES WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH REMOTE AND OTHER TIMES WHEN NOTHING IS DONE. THERE IS NO CERTAIN THING THAT I DO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT DOES IT IN DRIVE ALSO BUT I HAVE ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN MY DRIVEWAY. ENGAGING 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE DRIVING OR IN DRIVE, I BELIEVE FALLS UNDER UNSAFE CONDITIONS. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON DIFFERENT DODGE FORUMS AND FOUND THAT 04-05 DURANGOS AND DAKOTAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL AS SEEN IN THE SCREENSHOT AT HTTP://PRNTSCR.COM/DUEXX7 THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR OVER HALF A YEAR AND YET NO REMEDY IS YET AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN A HIGH HEAT AREA (LAS VEGAS VICINITY) AND "HEAT AGING" IS LISTED AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS RECALL CANNOT YET BE REMEDIED AS THE LACK OF A REMEDY ENDANGERS MY FAMILY.
