Power Window Problems of Dodge Dakota

Driver pulled truck into slightly inclined driveway and shifted into park. Vehicle was idling. Both driver side and passenger side windows were open. Driver put driver side power window up. The button to raise the passenger window from driver side does not work. So driver got out of vehicle, left the driver side door open and walked around rear to get to passenger side. Passenger window was open. Driver unlocked passenger door, opened it, and put power window up. Driver left passenger door open as there was something on the seat to pick up once vehicle was off. Driver walked back around vehicle. As the driver was approaching the driver side to turn the vehicle off the vehicle started drifting backwards. Driver tried to stop vehicle but momentum was too strong. Open passenger door struck wooden mailbox post and vehicle stopped. Vehicle drifted approximately 8-10 feet. Damage in form of dents was incurred to passenger door. Driver checked to see if maybe he had left the vehicle in drive, or shifted to reverse, not park. Driver concludes the vehicle was in park. To check this, the driver reenacted the sequence with the vehicle in both drive and in reverse at the same position on the driveway. The vehicle left in drive did not move. The vehicle left in reverse immediately drifted backwards. The unknown is that in the original incident the driver estimates that the vehicle was in park for nearly one minute, if not more, before drifting. During this span the driver 1) put up the driver side window - 10 seconds 2) walked around the back of the vehicle to passenger side - 10 seconds 3) opened the passenger door and put up the passenger window - 10 seconds 4) walked around the back of the vehicle again to the driver side - 10 seconds 5) approached the key to shut off the vehicle when it began to drift.

2004 Dodge Dakota quad cab: has power windows. On a trip from montrose CO. To denver CO. Put down the 3 passenger windows. When tried to put them back up would not go back up. Had to physically pull windows up and duck tape them. . . . And hoped they would not come down on trip back home. . . It was rainy, snowy colorado weather. I feel this is unsafe because of children in the truck and constantly watch for windows to go back down. I can hear the power motors working but the windows will not move. Has anyone else had this problem? thanks for your help.

I own 2 Dodge/Chrysler products, in the 6 years I have had these cars I have had to repair the electric window cables 9 times at a cost of $250. 00 each time. I have asked the local dealers why they keep breaking and I am told that they use plastic pieces that don't hold up. These products are supposed to carry a lifetime warranty which none of the dealers will honor. I am not the only person complaining about this problem. I spoke to the mechanic in my home town and he said they replace at least 5 to 6 of these cables a day. Why is Chrysler allowed to use these products with no consequences? the safety issue is the cables snap while you are driving and the windows fall down into the tracks. If you are in bad weather you have no chance of fixing this type of problem. How can I go about getting Chrysler to recall these products and make there supplier accountable? think about driving along and your window just falling down to the track and there is nothing you can do about it. No locking your car for safety, no protecting yourself from the elements, no way to fix the problem but shell out more money for a product that will always fail!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Have had to replace 2 of 4 window cables and motors. Truck is now back in for third window in a seven month period. Windows are hardly ever rolled up or down. Vehicle has 46000 miles on it, proving not a lot of wear and tear. First window, was rolling back up, got half way and fell down. Second window fell while in parking lot and no one was around. Third window fell when closing door.

Window regulator fails when shutting door, dropping window down in door channel. Window regulator must be replaced. Has just happened for the 3rd time in past 1 year. Each time a different window of this Dakota quad cab pickup I purchased new from dealer. Vehicle has been in no accidents.

I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota quad cab and I have also had problems with the window regulator on the drivers side. I however have changed it myself twice in the past year and it was about 95-100$ each time and finally decided that the last time that it went out that I wasn't going to fix it until Dodge came up with a better design on it so I now have a pair of c-clamp vice grips holding my window up. It is bad that I cant roll the window down but atleast I know that I don't have to worry about it falling down and the inside getting wet or vandalized.

Lat year we bought a 2007dodge Dakota new. 2 weeks after we drove it off the lot all the power windows went out. Since then it has been taken in to be fixed 9 times for the same issue. They cannot find the problem but the windows go out with 2 weeks from replacing the fuse almost every time. We did send away the post card to Chrysler to make them aware of the lemon before a year from the purchase date to ask for mediation to resolve the issue. We were told to take it in to be fixed yet again and again and they would not offer any other compensation or resolution. Now we have run out of time to file a lemon law suit and we cannot get anyone at Chrysler to call us back.

The front left power window stopped working. Found out it was the window regulator, which can not be replace for approx 1 month due to the part is on back order. Every place I have called, has had at least 3 complaints of this failure, which I believe is a manufacturing defect, if all at once they are all breaking in this truck. I read through your complaints on this website, and noticed there were some with the same problem. Would like to know if the manufacture plans on a recall of this part.

My 2000 Dodge Dakota drivers side window regulator has failed. I also own a 2001 caravan whose drivers side regulator broke 2 years ago and my 2001 durango had both left side drivers and passengers window regulator broke as well. That is now 4 windows regulators failed in less than 3 years.

Electric windows failed. I tried to replace the circuit breaker, but it was so hot it burned my fingers. The circuit breaker stayed hot as long as the ignition was on. I had to remove the circuit breaker and drive with the windows partially open for 2 days. After 2 days, the windows began to work as normal. Dealer says there is nothing broken.
