New dakota pickup stumbles at 2400 RPM. westoaks claims it is "characteristic". Brought it back several times with the same problem. P0300 (random misfire) OBD code at 8000 miles. No repair as it is out of warranty. Limited to under 2400 RPM to prevent OBD code and failing smog test. Not the only problem, the others are drivability (lurching at low speed due to slop in the drive train), rear window blew up sitting in the driveway because dodge glued it to the frame rather than using a gasket, fan first position could not blow out a match, transmission failed (lost all gears except fourth) at 200 miles. Had to drive it 75 miles in fourth because the warranty would have left me in the middle of nowhere with no way to get back. No way I would by another dodge or deal with this "dealer".

The Tru-Line guys assessed the problem and got me same day over to a great muffler shop to get it fixed up. So technically they didn't repair it, but they diagnosed it and got me taken care of with a great muffler shop. Great service. Quick. I'd go back again.

I personally had to go because he refused to return her money to her directly, stating her bad attitude as his reason for this. it comes down to that he kept $200 of her money - for removing a carburetor. he gave reasons for this, such as that "it was too late to return the re-build kit" but it is not her fault he waited too long to do it. we both totally did our best to work with him, and he basically stole her money
