1999 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"Fun, reliable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Each power lock module failed, about 2 months apart.
Headlamps occasionally cut out, very briefly.
Engine computer failed.
General comments?
The engine computer was replaced under warranty and I believe its failure may have been caused by an accessory I was using at the time (a power converter).
This is my third Dakota and I have had the highest faith in all of them.
It's quick, comfortable, attractive, and ready to work. It also does well off-road.
The engine and transmission are buttery smooth. The V8 is thirsty, but that is to be expected.
