 Warm weather causes 98 dodge dakota 3.9 engine to stall at any speed, anytime. engine completely dies and takes 20 to 30 min for engine to cool while off. then able to restart, but problem persists within 5 to 15 minutes after cooling. consequences are i have paid to have pcm replaced, as well as fuel pump. could cause death on freeway when everything dies at 70 mph. almost caused wreck today. no known fix, have spoke with chrysler and dealership on many occasions with no answer. *tr

 Around 60,000 miles i was left stranded after the fuel pump failed. the repair cost over 700 dollars plus the cost of the tow. at 90,000 mile the fuel pump failed again. this time the truck quit in the middle of a major intersection up traffic and putting my life at risk. this time the repair cost 777.00 dollars plus the cost of the tow. i don't feel that a fuel pump should fail so often. especially a such great cost for repair. *nm

 Have had an ongoing problem with hesitation upon acceleration esp. uphill. dealer finally (after warranty was up and we have had it in for the same problem at least three times now within the warranty period) found that there was an airleak some where. also performed a tune up. straps on back of console are both broke, scratch legs when sitting in back seat. ran out of gas twice on 1/8 of a tank, then ran out at 1/4 tank. they replace the sending unit? at a cost of 170.00 approx. (no longer under warranty by 3000 miles)

 Sure wish that the manufacturer would notify the owners of such vehicles when there is a service bulletin out so we can make the decision as to if it applies to our vehicle or not...the aircraft manufacturers do it that way...i know..i work for the boeing aircraft company
