What owners wrote
Fuel level is off. The vehicle may have 7-8 gallons out of 22 when fuel light comes on. Book says you have 1/8 left, equalls about 2 7/8 gal. Dealer and chrysler say it is ok, have to keep fuel pump cool? *nlm
My 2002 dodge dakota sxt club cab has been in for service on 2/14/05, 2/23/05, 3/12/05, 3/26/05 and 4/9/05 for misfiring. It has had 3 fuel injectors 2, 3, and 4 replaced because they were leaking, and all the spark plugs replaced every time it has gone into service. To date, 4/18/05, the vehicle was still misfiring. On each occasion, the engine light came on, and each time, the dealership stated it was the same problem.
