Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Reference 2001 dodge dakota 4wd: there has already been a safety recall on the 4wd module. it needed reprogramming to assure that it wouldn't slip out of gear causing the truck to roll. this recall has been performed on my truck. however, the module, after only a few thousand miles has gone out again. the "service 4wd" light comes on, but dodge tells me that they cannot even retrieve diagnostic codes from the module... and that it needs replacing. this failure of the 4wd module and the dealers inability to even diagnose the problem, after having recall work done on it, makes me wonder if the original safety recall service was even effective. *nm
