NHTSA complaint: 2004 DODGE DAKOTA — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AN BEEN REPLACED...NOW IM GOING WITHOUT A HEATER BECAUSE THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR STARTED SPARKING AN THE SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER AN MELTED PLASTIC FILLED THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE SO I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO AVOID A ACCIDENT AN I REACHED UNDER TO THE TO WHARE THE RESISTOR IS LOCATED AN IT WAS SCORTCHING HOT TO THE TOUCH. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAD STARTED TO CATCH FIRE. ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OR GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED FOR THERE TO BE A RECALL ON THIS...THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE WITH ATLEAST 298 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THATS JUST ONE WEBSITE, I HAVE CONCRETE INFORMATION TO BACK THIS MESSAGE SO PLEASE DONT JUST IGNORE THIS. *TT
