Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1996 dodge dakota slt, 5.2l, 4dr ( 99,000 mi) failed ca emission test on 7/8/06. suspected reason for the high emission was failure of the catalytic converter. daimler chrysler corp. (dcc) will not replace this converter at their expense even though they have a recall on some 1.5 million 1996 - 2001 vehicles for failed converters. no letter was received from them and when contacted, they say the vehicle is not on the list for recall. i believe this vehicle should be on the list. *nm
