REAR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WORK LIKE ANTI-LIKE BRAKES SHOULD..THEY ARE NOT ACTIVE AT ANY TIME OR SPEED .I HAVE HAD DEALERS AND MECHANICS CHECK THEM AND CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG.BUT WHEN I AN STOPPED, I COULD STAND ON THE BRAKES AND LIGHTLY TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL,) AND SPIN THE REAR TIRES EVEN WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DISABLED.

#702561January 25, 1999
SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
I PURCHASED THIS VEHECLE USED, AND AT SUCH TIME IT WAS AGREED THAT ALL AND ANY DEFECTS WOULD BE REPAIRED. I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS DODGE PICKUP FROM THE DODGE DEALER. HOWEVER, THERE WERE CURTAIN THINGS THAT HAD TO BE REPAIRED BY THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE DEALER ITEMS ONLY. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT THE LATCH ON EACH SEATBACKS DOES NOT LOCK THE SEAT BACK, SO AS IF YOU HAD A SUDDEN STOP, THE SEATBACK COULD POSSIBLY ALLOW THE BACK TO TIP FORWARD ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY TO MOVE FORWARD, CAUSING THE PERSON TO IMPACT THE DASH. BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ARE THIS WAY. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER DODGE DAKOTA PICKUPS AND YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY MOVE THE LATCH UP TO UNLOCK THE SEATBACK SO THAT YOU THEN CAN MOVE THE WHOLE SEAT ASSEMBLY FORWARD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS MATTER ,AND THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED THIS WAY. THEY CHARGED THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM OVER $500.00 TO REPAIR ONE SEAT ASSEMBLY, AND IT STILL ISN'T RIGHT. I ASKED THE DEALER FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER COMPLAINT PHONE NUMBER AND THEY DID GIVE ME A NUMBER, WHICH I CALLED. THE INDIVIDUAL TOOK DOWN THE INFORMATION AND THEN TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A MATTER THAT WAS BETWEEN ME AND THE DEALER TO RESOLVE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OFF. PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION. THANKS!! *AK
