1997 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"Mine was a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the brakes 3 times in 50,000 miles.
U-joint replaced at 30,000 miles.
I repainted the front bumper every year.
Transmission was going bad when I traded it in.
General comments?
The V8 pulled pretty good.
I do believe the truck was a lemon.
Nice looks.
Owned other Dakotas with the V8 4wd setup and never had a problem.
