1991 Dodge Dakota review from North America
"The truck SUCKS, I'll never buy a Dodge again!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
July 1998 - transmission blew $1,400 to fix.
September 1998 - whole rear end went out, $2,000 to fix and still paying on it.
October 1999 - bearing on the rear end went out, covered by warranty.
January 2001 - whole rear end went out again. Don't know the cost yet this time.
Meanwhile numerous small things broke down (to many to mention). Above all, to make things worse, when we had to find the parts to fix it with they were hard to find plus they cost more than any other vehicle brand in comparision.
General comments?
Comfort is the only good feature.
