I was going to work and the transmission started slipping when I had cruise control on, and then when I got to a stop light my truck started revving and wouldn't move. When I put it in neutral it wouldn't roll either. It just kept on revving and screeching. So I out back into drive and it jerks. Also my trucks rear end locked up and wouldn't roll in neutral while the truck is on. You have to keep the truck off and then put it into neutral to roll it.
1. Drivers airbag light comes on when driver. 2. When making a u-turn I hear a loud clunking noise around the tire area. 3. The emergency release brake cable snapped off the release handle. 4. Nhtsa just sent me an email regarding a recall on my 2006 Dodge Dakota quad "left tire rod assembly". ( this could be the cause of my #2. Loud clunking noise making a u-turn).
Emergency brake release cable broke off of handle.
10-23-12. My technician almost had an accident because of his vehicles brakes(abs control module). My tech noticed the stopping light and applied the brake pedal to slow his vehicle. The vehicle did not slow. The tech noticed that the clock went off for a second and came back on. He still didn't have any brakes. Right before he came into the intersection the brakes locked up and he came to a complete stop. He took his foot off the brakes and it was still locked up. He stepped on the gas pedal and the brakes released and he parked in parking lot. I had him get the vehicle towed to a local auto shop chain and they called me later that night and told me that they almost got thrown out of the window because the brakes locked up on him.
Loss of braking but mechanic could find no visible leaks in brake system. Sometimes have full brake pedal and sometimes no brake pedal.
I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota and when I called Chrysler they told me my vehicle was not included in the recall (06v038000) I am having the exact brake problems described in the recall and don't know what I can do about it. Any help from your organization would be great!!!.
Vehicle vibrates severely when od (lock-up) comes in at 40 mph , if brakes are applied after this the vehicle shakes and jumps all aver the road. 4 tires replaced twice, front rotors replaced, rear drums turned. Upon further inspection I checked all the sway bar items and front end; the sway bar struts were broken, I replaced and problem solved.
