1 Catalytic Convertor problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2006

1996 Dodge Dakota slt, 5. 2l, 4dr ( 99,000 mi) failed CA emission test on 7/8/06. Suspected reason for the high emission was failure of the catalytic converter. Daimler Chrysler corp. (dcc) will not replace this converter at their expense even though they have a recall on some 1. 5 million 1996 - 2001 vehicles for failed converters. No letter was received from them and when contacted, they say the vehicle is not on the list for recall. I believe this vehicle should be on the list.

2 Catalytic Convertor problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2002

Recently purchased a 1996 Dodge Dakota pu. I'm having problems with the catalitic converter as though it's clogging up and or falling apart internally. Has there been a recall on this vehicle and also what are all of the recalls issued on the 1996 Dodge Dakota, so that I can get all of them fixed, even if it is at my expense.
