Dodge Dakota and durango years 2000 to 2003 that I know of from me and my friends. I have a 2002 Dakota and when the anti lock brakes engage the vehicle surges forward do to engine idle speed most likely from booster vacuum dump off. I am a ase certified mech and I understand how the abs brakes are suppose to react when applied. My friend has an earlier model durango and has the same problem.
