injection point: a clear sign of mismanufacture but they would only give me
"half off" a new tire: still $90). I will never intentionally purchase any
products from them again.
From the original post, I can only tell you that in Calf. the lemon law
requires that a vehicle be taken in for the same problem 3 times in the first
few years of ownership (usually the first year for minor stuff, or the
warranty period for major stuff) for the vehicle to be called a Lemon. If the
Dealership resolved all the problems but the noisy transmission then it sound
like you had a "weekend" or "end of shift" car that gets less attention from
the workers (these do really happen) and usually ends up with some glitches at
the start of it's life. I would hesistate to call it a lemon. If they can't
fix the tranny problem, then you might have a case to go on, but most
transmissions are only supposed to be "quiet" in the forward gears, not
reverse, as you are running gears in an opposite direction (old trannys were
REALLY noisy in reverse as the hypoid gears were forced to mesh backwards).
I'd suggest asking the Dealer to let you test drive other Dakota's on the lot
and see if they are quiet or just as noisy as yours...

You have done better in some cases than me. The dodge dealer here
maintains Goodyear is respondsible for the tire warrrenty. The Goodyear
dealer said he would not do anything about our problems.
I have a compaq 1620 laptop computer. 14 months old,major work like
hard drive and systems card replacement,twice. still have problems, no
extention of warrenty. The legal advice I am getting says that this may
not qualify under the lemon laws in Kentucky. The Dodge dealers here in
Louisville Ky, I have bought from 3 of them,have always given some grace
period on warrenty if the item was really defective in the warrenty period.
