Four problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 2000 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission failed on Dodge Dakota on a hill. No crash but I heard this is happening to tons of Dodge trucks at around 70,000 miles. Some one could get hurt. Transmission had to be rebuilt.
Transmission failed after 45,500 miles. Dealer had tried to fix problem in April 2001 but transmission failed in October.
Transmission failed and replaced at 40000 miles and 1 1/2 years on the road. Just had transmission serviced 7000 miles ago. Dodge agreed to replace parts, but I still have to pay service which is over 1000. Dodge never told me why it failed, nor how. I asked them to check fluid level, never did. Brakes when applied cause vehicle to "wobble". Brake repair said rotors were warped. They were fixed only to be occurring again. I shall never buy another Dodge.
Automatic transmission failed.
