One problem related to brake sensor has been reported for the 2005 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I am the original owner of a 2005 Dodge Dakota 4x4 4 door mid sized pick up. It has 89,000 miles on it. I experienced braking problems on 9/10/16 and brought it to the shops for complete break inspection where repairs were done. On 1/25/17 I took it to a Dodge dealer for an airbag sensor recall where the truck was looked at by Dodge mechanics. On 1/30/17 while driving, my truck lost all braking ability. The pedal when to the floor, despite rapidly pumping the breaks, I rear ended the car in front of me. Fortunately no one was hurt but this could have been a catastrophe had it happened in another location. The truck was towed to my local station where an inspection revealed the break lines had rotted out causing a catastrophic brake failure. I am not reading on line that gm has known about this issue with no recall or recommended special maintenance to be performed for these vehicle owners. I was just heading over a series of extensive hills where such brake failure could have been fatal. I was going straight on a city street well under 20 mph. I will provide repair records when I receive them.
