1990 Dodge Dakota review from North America
"My Dakota is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace a transmission line about a month after I bought it, & general wear parts like the brakes and muffler.
General comments?
In the 3 years that I have owned this truck, it has started every time I turned the key. It has never left me stranded. I have never been easy on it.
I hammer on the throttle like there is no tomorrow and it keeps kicking... I have even let my wife drive it and it ain't dead yet. This truck, which I bought "to get me through the winter", will probably be my kid's first truck.
