One problem related to automatic transmission torque converter has been reported for the 2004 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The transmission in my 2004 Dodge Dakota slt is a piece of crap. First I had to replace the valve body at 53,000 miles, now the torque converter tries to lock too soon (at 30 mph), which results in the truck shuddering between 30 and 40 mph. It only occurs under light acceleration. Heavy acceleration keeps the converter from locking.
