They probably are because it sounds as if the spring is broke that is what helps it retract if it is broke this will cause it to not spring back like it should

SOURCE: 1995 Dodge Dakota Calipers

check your fluids and bleed the brake system , if that is all the issues your having . if low on fluid and keeps draining out then you have whats known as a caliper seal broken and that means $30-50 bucks for a new one/rebuilt , i know i drove mine like that for a bit and had to replace the driver side.

SOURCE: 1997 dodge dakota signal/hazard problem

This vehicle has what is known as a flasher unit, it is a relay assembly under the dash. This is the relay that clicks when your signals are on. it may need to be replaced. Another possible trouble spot could be the wiring in the steering column. Are there any other issues with horn, cruise etc.
Check the flasher first and get back to me.

SOURCE: 95 dodge dakota heater blower not working

It has been a long time since I've replaced one of those. From what I remember you don't have to go through pulling the heater box out. You do need to remove the glove box assembly. Look up under the passenger side of the dash. If you see the bulge of the motor/cover hanging straight down then remove the cover and the motor will be there. If you don't see that then te motor is mounted horizonally. If that is the case then the fresh air door assembly will need to be removed and it is behind that.
Here is a quick check to see if the motor is bad. Thump the bottom of the heater box by the passenger's feet. if the motor comes alive or makes noise then it is bad. Also check the fuse and make sure that it doesn't work on any speed. (the resistor would prevent operation on only one speed or more but generally not all speeds)

I can't get the driver side rear seat in my 2009 dodge dakota to fold down. It has worked fine for a year but it seems to be locked up. I can't find a release latch etc. I note another user had the same...

The seats are equipped with an "inertia lock mechanizm" Under normal conditions it is not necessary to "unlock" or "release" anything to tilt the seat back forward. The seat is designed to lock only during hevy braking or other condition like parked on a steep hill, where the gravitational pull will cause the inertia mechanism to lock. Sometimes this mechanism gets stuck and must be released manually. There should be a lever on the seat back to do this. (See Picture)
This is covered in your Owner's Manual. If you do not have an Owner's Manual for your truck, you can get one HERE.

The driver side seat belt buzzer keeps ringing even with the belt buckled

Find and disconnect the seat belt buckle connector. short the two wires together on the harness side with a paper clip. If the chime/buzzer quits, the problem is in the buckle assembly. If the chime/buzzer is still going off, the problem is some where in the wiring or module.

05 dakota front brakes

Try taking a look at your front wheel bearings. Lift the front of the vehicle then grab the tire from the bottom and the top. Push in on the top and pull out on the bottom. If you have a lot of movement then your wheel bearings are bad or need to be tightened. If that does not work I would look into the accumulator for the ABS and it's surrounding switches and relays.
