1989 Dodge Dakota LX review from North America
"Worst vehicle ever owned!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You name it!!! Been through 3 transmissions (first one six months after owning the truck) and working on another! Replaced A/C too many times!! The gears in the rear-end have been replaced three times! Interior leaks like a sieve. Lowsy paint job! Radio eats tapes. There have been so many things go wrong there are just too many to list.
General comments?
The vehicle has been a nightmare to own!!! Currently the a/c has quit again, it will not shift into overdrive, and I had to pull all the carpet out due to it leaking all the time. If you ever see one for sale, RUN AWAY!!!
