I purchased a "Certified" 2005 Dodge Dakota 29 days ago and nothing but problems?

Some states have lemon laws see if your state has one. There's also a small claims court option which one could consider court arbitration. The max tort a court could give you is Prob ten grand which would payfor the repairs but no lawyer should be needed. But I would have documentation on the repairs. You could get the repairs done pay the bill then get the court to refund the repairs plus your time spent on the whole affair. A judge should be sympathetic.

You were free to check it out prior to buying it.

Certified just means you overpaid for a better warranty on the big things.

Still, hard to believe the truck has ALL those problems with just 60k miles.

Ask for the general manager and see if he will help.

He doesn't have to...but he might pitch in for some of the cost.

Do I have ANY, and I mean ANY options at all regarding this?

Nope. Aside from paying up and making repairs.

I'm not sure what "Certified" means on a seven-year old Chrysler product, either, but I wouldn't have a $15k loan to pay back either just to find out the hard way. It's a used vehicle, it happens.

Good luck.

Backfires and skill loss sounds like a gasoline pump to me. I truly have had a number of backfire by way of spark plug wires getting previous, yet that ought to wish to were dealt with contained in the track. If someone has tried to time it with a timing mild, that ought to correctly be a contributing aspect besides. the computer regulates timing after the distributor is "listed" with a test device. yet another difficulty I truly were operating into more desirable oftentimes lately than previously is cracked cylinder heads on the 5.2L and 5.9L. i have not considered it as a lot on the three.9L. A compression attempt ought to or would not exhibit in the experience that they are cracked. If the porcelain insulator on any of the spark plug electrodes were cracked contained in the former plugs, or signs and indicators of coolant on the plugs, it ought to probably be a cracked cylinder head. sometimes, all we are able to do it R&R the heads after we tried many different issues and look at them. maximum of thetime I cna see them with my bare eye, yet sometimes I truly might want to deliver them out for magna-fluxing to go back across. in the experience that they are cracked it really is going to be correct by potential of the valve seats that are machined into the heads, which makes it sometimes puzzling to go back across as cylinder temp can deplete or settlement smaller cracks. yet another difficulty I truly have considered, no matter if not as regularly to any extent further, is the pan gasket on the intake manifold blows out and leaks vacuum internally. to envision this, get rid of the PCV from the valve conceal and block off both the PCV and the grommet contained in the valve conceal. next, get rid of the breather hose from the air cleanser and placed your thunb over the hose. it really is going to construct rigidity, no matter if a small volume. in case you experience vacuum, the gasket is blown and the intake manifold should be bumped off and the pan gasket on the bottom of the manifold replaced (alongside with the intake manifold gasket.) it truly is ones like this that reason such an excellent number of folk to both pass bald or early gray, LOL.
