general problems of the 1998 Dodge Dakota

1 safety recall found,reprogram pcm and inspect catalytic converter. I never got a recall notice in the mail just happen to go on line and find it. My engine light,anti -brake light and emergency light stays on. My speedometer and odometer quit working. I took my truck to the Dodge dealership and they said the parts are discontinued and they cannot get them but they did do a inspection and said everything was ok. I still have the same problems and I am concerned about my safety and the safety of others involved while I am driving my truck.

The contact owns a 1998 Dodge Dakota. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was restarted and operated as designed. During the failure, there were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Additionally, while depressing the brake pedal a clicking noise was present and the vehicle would not immediately stop. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 210,000.

My truck has a bad pcm I have it rebuilt 3 times and the same problem will start once then will not start put a pcm in from a 8cyl runs all day not well because its from 8cyl everything has been replaced and still will not start I have seen a lot of this same thing on line this is my first Dodge nd it will be my last and all of this is from the Dodge dealer.

The truck has a electrical issue the lights go off and on out of no where I was driving down the road in very dark two laned road and lights go off. Thank god nobody tried passing in oncoming traffic pr we would be dead I replaced light ewitch a few months ago and it was gfine until recently started doing same thing.

For Dodge cars around 98 or ones that have the automatic door locks, they stop working. It sounds like they want to actuate the lock but it won't lock or unlock. All other function remains in the doors opening and closing. Upon my quest of trying to fux the problem on both doors, I took apart the electronic motor housing where the gears are. There is a little blue piece under all the gears that has broken and appears to be broken from the pressure of the friction spring behind it. Thinking this was the problem with the other one, I tore it apart and was the same thing. The two parts had broken in the exact same spot. I have a feeling this is due to product defect and not juse in my case.
