Why is my 2005 Dodge Dakota such a piece of junk?

As long as they are willing to work on your vehicle under warranty in an attempt to fix your problems, keep working with them. The moment they balk, get a lawyer, and move the problem from a local dealership level to a Chrysler corporate level.

Be patient, not all problems are easy to find a solution to, especially with vehicles like yours., which are first model year designs. Also, as long as they are working with you, you probably shouldn't sue.

people are so out of touch with conventional that they don't realize it is every bit as good as synthetic. The only thing you need to do is change your oil on a regular basis and keep your air filter changed which helps keep the oil clean. I have owned and operated 3 quick lubes for 18 years now and I have seen and heard about everything. Some guy will come in and want synthetic oil and the whole time he is in he brags how he can get 300k miles on his car with synthetic. The next car will have 300k miles on it and the customer is using conventional oil. Point is don't waste your money synthetic oil is not the answer to making an engine last long preventative maintenance is the key.

sounds like the slide pins inside the front brake calipers dried up.pull em off,tap the pins out an regrease them.sometimes people use high pressure water on the brakes when cleaning it and wash away all the grease, if this sounds like you, then the fault is yours not dodges. it can happen to any vehicle that has large enough opening in the rim to allow high pressure washing.the remedy,after regreasing,and possibly replacing your rotors, pay attention to what your doing when power washing your truck,frankly. you dont need to power wash it.dont be so lazy

Perhaps U have a heavy brake peddle foot, I know someone close to me who used to do that till i harrased him about it and it cost him a lot of $$ to fix his own brakes.LOL

because you got the new style they just changed everything on them and now you're stuck with all the bullsh*t of working out the bugs...good luck

maybe you just got a lemon... most of their vehicles are pretty well built...

or maybe your truck was built when the union employees were on a break... another reason to hate unions LOL

Check out your state's lemon law - perhaps they can help.

If your willing to pay $20.00 or so then go to carfax and look up your vin.

OMG!! We have one of these and we know someone else who has one too, ours is still running, kind of (knock on wood). But our friends is DEAD.

Your is not the only one! Paint a big old lemon on it...lol

because its a dodge
