1995 Dodge Dakota LST review from North America
"A truck built only to get out of the warranty period"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air-conditioning drier leaked at 32000 miles.
Voids in castings of front brake rotors noticed at 80,000 miles.
Transmission slow to shift at about 70,000 miles.
General comments?
Chrysler refused to stand behind any defects. For example, on brake rotors, said only warranted for 12,000 miles. Who plans on replacing their rotors every 12,000 miles!
Cab very noisy, especially with only one window open. Back center window always rattles and wind noise.
