Two problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission is slipping. The truck has 47,078 miles. Too it in and they told me that I need an entire new transmission or they could repair it for $100. 00 less then a factory rebuilt transmission. I don't feel as though a transmission should be slipping with only 47,000 miles on it. The service man told me that it was the front clutch piston was what was the problem. Have you had any other complaints? I feel as though this is unacceptable due to the low miles. I feel as though it is a factory defect.
While driving the vehicles' automactic transmission started slipping gears. This resulted in other parts in the transmission burning out. (parts unknown). The dealership indicated this was caused by the rubber seals going bad. There is a tis bulletin for this problem. Ts.
