2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT Plus 4X4 review from North America
"A big fat Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The truck stalled out a lot when I first got it.
Rear view mirror came loose.
Leather seats ripped on seem.
Wiper blades hit the hood.
The truck is showing signs of paint defects.
Door panel came loose.
The front end squeaks when going over bumps. This has been to the dealer twice for this already. They changed out the front sway bar bushings both times. The truck is going back again for the same problem.
General comments?
This truck has very good acceleration and lots of power.
The seats are uncomfortable for long trips and the truck has some bad blind spots with the pillars.
