1999 Dodge Dakota review from North America
"Not worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Surface rust started in the corners of the windows, transmission needed to be repaired, the inside trim is falling apart, the motor has a slight knocking, it burns a lot of gas. but most of all, when it is cold weather the truck starts, but when I put it into gear the motor dies out. The starter has been replaced already.
General comments?
I see this as a high dollar repair truck.
