Wiring problems of the 2004 Dodge Dakota

The heater blower resistor keeps burning up. I have replaced the resistor various times and it keeps burning up. I replaced the blower motor and the resistor keeps burning up. I had the vehicle checked for an electrical short circuit and it has none. The wiring to the resistor also burns up. I checked the internet and there are numerous reports and complaints of the same problem with many owners of the same type of vehicle. In one of the cases the resistor cause a fire inside the vehicle and the vehicle burned down. This problem has been occurring on these vehicles for a long time and it hadn't been reported to the manufacturer. I am afraid that someday the vehicle will catch on fire because of this issue. I keep on replacing the resistor and the harness every time it burns and I've also replaced the blower motor. I can't seem to get answer from anyone from Dodge or Chrysler on this problem. At the time that the resistor burned down the vehicle was running on the city streets at 30 mph. It has happened various times on the same running senario.

While parked my blower motor wiring to the resistor just went. This is the 4th time it has done this. Now I am with out a truck and its snowing and cold so it us inoperable! I have seen plenty of other people with the same problem I am having! thank god I was not driving with my kids in the truck when it went. The wiring melted so there is nothing I can do to replace the resistor so I have to replace the whole wire harness. This in not the first time this has happened in these trucks! something needs done before someone gets killed over this.

The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Dakota. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact noticed that the air conditioner and heat blower fan failed to function. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the contact was advised that the resistor needed to be replaced because the wiring was melted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred after repairs. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

Temp gauge will peg followed by check engine light. P# is 0118--excess voltage from sensor. 4 different dealerships have attempted to fix this problem. Calls Chrysler and they were no help at all.

On 3/25, my trucks instrument panel started to malfunction. All of my warning lights came on and my odometer quit working. It said "no bus". I contacted savannah Dodge about the issue on 3/26, 7:45 am. An appointment for 2:00 was scheduled. Upon dropping the truck off, I was told that my truck would be diagnosed and ready for me the next morning. My receipt also states that the promised completion date would be 3/27. On 3/27, I called savannah Dodge at 2:00 pm to check on the status of my truck. I was told by a service member that ** was out on lunch and that my call would be returned. My call was never returned so I called back at 3:00 p. M. ** told me that they were having a major problem with the wiring of my stereo system. She asked when it was installed. I told her that it was installed 1. 5 years ago, and she told me that the problem was aftermarket speaker wires were spliced into a factory wiring harness and this was a common problem that occurred over time. She also said that the only fix was to replace it with the original factory harness. I then told them to go ahead and finish the job and I would be up to pick it up that evening. They informed me that this was not an option. They had to wait on parts (new factory harness) to arrive and it would be available 3/28 (one day after the promised date). After receiving the truck and looking at the bill, it states no new wiring harness was used and they rewired the aftermarket wires. I called and questioned ** about the issue and he became furious. He told me that savannah Dodge would never service my vehicle again and I would never be allowed to step on their property again. After driving in my vehicle, the warning lights are off, however there are three new problems. The radio doesn't function properly. Also, my windshield wipers do not work and was told they wouldn't be fixed. Also, all of my spare fuses are missing. This is a theft issue, and ** did in fact tell me over the phone that they took my fuses.

I am looking for all people that are willing to speak to my attorney about problems they are having with their 04 Dakota's. I have had clunking noise coming from front end, whirling noise at idling gets louder when blinker on, windows make clunking noise while rolling up or down, sever e shaking while braking ( warped rotors), transmission leaking, and the list goes on. I am in the middle of lemon law and it took me a long time to be able to find an attorney. This one is excellent.
