2002 Dodge Dakota Sport Plus 4X4 Club Cab review from North America
"Two words, exceptional vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In cold weather the windshield washer hosing valve (which is located within the Y splitter) freezes & prevents the windshield washer fluid to come out. (This is easily fixed by replacing the Y splitter valve with a regular Y splitter)
The seat recliner handle for the rear passengers has broken. (This was replaced by the Dealer)
Tires are difficult to get properly balanced. In this case, they still are not properly balanced. (Goodyear Wrangler RTS) (Balancing was attempted 5 times by the Good Year Dealer. Wheels were tested separately and are OK.)
General comments?
Besides these small issues, the truck runs great. Performance, handling, and comfort are very good and gives a exhilarating driving feeling.
