2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab SLT review from North America
"The truck is poorly engineered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake Rotors - replaced 3 times.
Rear differential - all bearings, gears shot.
Upper ball joints.
Rear you joint/front you joint.
Lower control arms.
Spare tire carrier siezed up.
Fan resistor.
Hood rust.
General comments?
I have been extremely disapointed with the quality of this vehicle.
While I enjoy the power, cabin comfort, size, and look of the vehicle, I will never buy another Dodge again.
I have put about 2k in repairs into this truck this year alone.
