1999 Dodge Dakota review from North America
"When repair free, it's great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The following items were replaced since the regular warranty expired, extended warranty was not purchased. I only have 54,480 miles on the truck, original miles. My engine is a 4 cyl..2.5.Thus far since warranty expired I have had the following replaced at my own expense:
1) fly wheel positioning sensor
2) rear differential sensor (ABS) system
3) A/C low pressure switch
4) new A/C evaporator
5) new A/C clutch
6) new Radiator.
I replaced an old Nissan pick up for this new Dakota... the old Nissan is still going strong with well over 250,000 miles (1987).Very minimal repair costs over the years.
General comments?
Should have stuck with Nissan..
Buy American made was a mistake I think!
