1998 Dodge Dakota SLT review from North America
"A great truck (not too big, not too small) that loves fuel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front drive axle cover leaking.
Power drivers seat moves forward when braking and slides backward when accelerating (dealer has since replaced the seat frame).
Truck pitches sideways when the rear end goes over a bump.
Transmission shifts rough.
General comments?
Had minor problems, but taken care of by the warranty.
With air intake, headers, cat back exhaust and computer upgrades, this truck is a rocket even with 4 wheel drive.
Back seat tight for adults, OK for children.
