1984 Dodge Aries review from North America
"Major disappointment and glad to see it die"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
42000 kilometers - radio and speakers was not working
45000 - Replaced Muffler and Pipes
46000 - All Brake components and lines replaced
50000 - Carburetor replaced
65000 - Battery replaced
67000 - CV Boot and cable replaced
67000 - Wheel bearings replaced
67300 - Transmission went.. debating to scrap this piece of CRAP car because it's worth nothing anyways.
General comments?
For the amount of kilometers on the car, it should have run a lot better and had a lot less problems!
I was disappointed with this car and will never buy another Dodge or Chrysler car. I have had 12 GM cars, and this one gave me the trouble than 4 of them did with 200,000 kilometers on each of them!
The resale value is pathetic, and overall people made fun of it! I now see why!
