Six problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2002 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The vehicle stalled while driving. The vehicle experienced the following: knocking in the suspension(4 attempts to fix), the vehicle pulled to the right, the driver door had a wind noise and water leaked, the tailgate handle was loose on the right side, the lower steering column coupled, and the upper control arm bolts were found loose.
Pickup truck drive train binds up during 2 wheel driving. The front axle (4x4) does not allow the front wheels to disengage. Truck has been to the dealer 3 times and Dodge says this is the way they all are. At 4272 miles the front tires show significant feathering, and is stalling out when driving around corners in low gear mode (@ intersections and parking spaces). Dodge says that the front and rear axles are not limited slip but positive traction and recommends that I push in the clutch to keep from stalling. They want me to double-clutch to get through an intersection when I make left hand turns? I feel that this is a design error with safety implications.
The vehicle stalled at 30 mph.
Warm engine idle on 4. 7l engine in 2002 Dakota quad cab stumbles when idling at traffic lights. Rpm at normal idle only 500 to 550. When fluctuation occurs idle speed ranges between 450 rpms to 650 rpms. Engine vibrates due to low idle rpm and has stalled on one occasion. To prevent stall out I need to shift automatic transmission into neutral. Have been to dealer twice and was told they can't fix as no TSB has been received allowing for change to computer. This has been an ongoing problem since I bought the truck new last June. Not just date specific as requested by an incident date.
