This 2001 dodge dakota comes up with code p0601 it says it is a memory check sum error. it comes on intermittent in cold weather. if you clear the code it might come right back or it might stay off it is annoying sometimes it messes with the abs making the front right brake hang up
Often when i start my truck the oil pressure gauge will go all the way up, the gauge for the battery stays down, and when it does start, the serpentine belt will squeal, sometimes it will start and idle, other times it will not idle, unless i keep my foot on the gas, as soon as i take my foot off the gas it will stall, after about 15 minutes, everything will go back to normal and it runs fine, but lately, its been doing it more often, when it does this, there is a foul smell coming out of the exhaust. i have had it scanned and no codes came up on the scanner. i do not have a lot of money, so if there is a recall please let me know how a recall works. this has happened several times, but the last time was 9/23/2019, when i started it today, it ran fine.
Wiring harness connected to a/c and hater blower motor melts and causes the blower motor to fail. it has happened twice in 2 years. the first time the dealer put in a new harness at my expense, around 400 dollars. both times the blower motor stopped while driving under normal city driving conditions. there are other complaints about this problem on this ntsb website, and they describe the exact same symptoms and conditions both before and after harness failure. my fear is the harness melting and could cause a fire under the dash leading to a crash or vehicle fire.

Risk of fire by wrong sized fused in power outlet. i almost burn the truck charging a drone (57w charger) parking and left alone for about 20 minutes, when i back the cabin was filled with smoke. first i think in the lithium batteries catching fire, but no, the smoke comes from behind the dash. quickly i removed the 20a fuse and left like this. i ordered the replacement outlet and today when i was to change i found the wires complete melted. check the service manual and shows a 18awg wire protected whit 20a fuse. probably a inherited from some old dodge ram which one have a 20a fuse and 14awg wire. checking some news models and have 18awg too, so it could be more vehicles in potential risk of fire. the user manual, printed, digital online, the fuse box cover, service manual, everywhere says 20a fuse for a thin 18awg wire.

Vehicle goes in and out of 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel lo on it's own, whether the vehicle is running or not and moving or not. there have been times when i open the door, not unlock, just open, and you can hear the transfer case shifting . sometime "service 4 wheel drive" light comes on, other times just 4 wheel indicator and other times no light at all. though it is a 2005, i only have 80k on it. this has been going on for about 6 months now
