In oct.2002 my truck shut off while driving down the road. in the past the truck had shut off in reverse or when i was at a dead stop and then press the gas, but this time i had to drive with my foot on the gas and the brake at the same time and then put it in neutral at a stop to keep the gas going. i had also had a problem with my blinkers. you turn the left one on and occasionally the right one will blink to-like "hazard lights". my dash board would also light up while driving or even when i come to a stop at a light. i put it off until the driving down the road. the dealership said it was a computer problem and the truck had been doing it since day 1, they couldn't find the problem to the blinkers. also the a/c condesation line had a crack in it and was leaking into my passenger side floor-that was a second trip. now my truck is haveing the same shut-off problem starting just like it did last time-so now i am looking into the "lemon law", it seems to apply so far.*ak
Dimmer switch on 2002 dodge dakota gets excessively hot after lights are on for several hours with dimmer switch in the in dim position. it is hot enough to burn a child's hand. switch was replaced three times by dealer and still no change. dealer refuses to do anything else to fix the problem. i have notified their customer service department, recall department and their corp. headquarters. ts
