 After cold start and normal warm up, truck lurched forward at a stoplight, then stalled. happened several times over the previous month, without stalling. if i had been in a left turn lane at a traffic light, results could have been deadly. dealership correction was a pcm flash software update, at my expense. this should be a safety issue and covered by the manufacturer. the truck is still under powertrain warranty also.

 The transmission has quirky responses when put in reverse or drive. this does not happen all the time, but it has happened on a number of occasions for as long as we have owned the vehicle. another incident we have had with our vehicle while traveling home one afternoon at a higher rate of speed was the feeling of someone who had pushed real hard on the brake for a moment. the only problem is, i was the driver, and my foot was on the gas pedal. while this has happened only once, to me that is once to many. we reported this like we had with the other quirks that i had mentioned, only to be told the same thing, that our computer did not store any codes, and they could not get the vehicle to duplicate the problem. we then talked to the manufacturer who told us that we still had a warranty and not to worry. at that point i asked him what would happen once the warranty expired, and his response was for me to purchase another warranty. *tr

 I purchased a 2007 used dodge dakota still under factory basic warranty. the test drive was fine and we did not hear any noise coming from the transmission while the windows were up. we took the vehicle home and i had turned off the radio and rolled down the window to put the truck in reverse and all of a sudden i experienced a loud bang, and grind noise. i thought nothing of it and the next day i heard the same but then also the automatic transmission would not go into gear right away and started hesitating while going form park to reverse and vise versa (reverse to park). i took the truck to the dodge dealer and they said it was common form the transmission to do that and did not bother to run a diagnostic on the truck. they just put the car through its gears and heard the noises and experienced the hesitation in the transmission and said it was normal. the truck has 16,500 miles on it and is a 2007 model. i wanted to register this complaint because i feel the problem is going to get worse and could put someone's life in danger if the transmission delay and hesitation become more pronounced and the dodge dealer continues to says that the automatic transmission delay and hesitation is normal. *tr
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

 At about 7500 miles on 02-29-2008 the right caliper locked up and burnt the brake pads down to nothing. took the vehicle to dealer ship and they replaced right brake pads. in august the same year at 11,000 the right caliper locked up and by the time the was taken to dealer ship they had to replace the right caliper right brake pads and right rotor. on 02-21-2012 at 45,000 miles the right caliper locked up coming down the mountain and by the time it was taken to a shop it had burnt the brake pads on the rght side to the point that the rotor was again destroyed. dodge denied an warranty or any problems with the brake system. i had the caliper, rotor, and brake pads replaced by a independent shop. looking at the pads the original on the left showed to be less than 30 percent worn. when the caliper locks up it makes it difficult to control steering. i have dates names and case numbers from talking to dodge. thanks

 I own a 2007 dodge dakota 4wd/4dr the windshield wipers when turned on do not come on even when i turn them on high. i have to flip the control lever for the wipers numerous times to finally get them on. once they do come on they won't shut off even if the switch is off. this is extremely dangerous since i live in kansas. *tr
