Three problems related to other fuel system have been reported for the 2005 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata air bag. I purchased a 2005 Dodge Dakota in August 2018. I took it to the dealership in October when I found out about the recall. Dealership replaced drivers side but not passenger side. I was told and shown photos of an empty space. There was no airbag or wiring. I still have no psa. Also when I test drove this vehicle it had no headlights. When I purchased it I was told they were fixed. I do not have high beams still. There are also problems with the emissions on this truck. I replaced the evap pump but still is not correct. Can someone please tell me what I can do about these safety issues? thank you.
Mine is the 2005 Dodge Dakota extra cab and the exhaust manifold bolts breaking/shearing at the engine block. This can cause (and it has) a ticking sound that gets louder as you accelerate. Once you hear the ticking sound, both sides of the engine are affected. This results in poor mileage, overheating, engine will stall at low idle, ultimately allowing exhaust fumes to enter the cabin, potentiallu, poisoning the occupants with carbon monoxide fumes. I took this vehicle to the dealer to have then replaced. The 1st dealer said it wasn't repairable. 2nd one said, 1400 $ per side to extract broken bolts at the rear of the exhaust manifold on both sides of my 4. 7 . 3rd repair shop told me this very common on the 4. 7 and he does about 10 a week. His price was 350 $ per size plus gasket and doughnut gasket at the collector. Hey! if this is such a common problem why are we Dodge owners being hostage by having to make this repair ourselves and pay for it? it is an emmisions engineering underdesign that needs to be fixed and a recall needs to be issued. It is a design defect. Please investigate and get this situation corrected before some innocent child dies from carbon monoxide entering the cabin. Not to mention other potential hazards that may occur because the driver is overwhelmed by carbon monoxide and runs down 78 people because they passed out from the carbon monoixide filled cabin while driving. Please. Do. Something. Time is running out. Before somebody is killed.
My 2005 Dodge Dakota shakes when driving on smooth road and braking, rpms rev really high, has no pick up, and gets 9 mpg of gas, defect in drivers seatbelt none of which are covered by Dodge or a warrenty.
