2000 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"A good looking money trap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rotors warped and had to be replaced a little after 13,000miles.
Wind shield wipers are not reliable when raining. They quit working after about 10 minutes, in wet weather. The delay on them has never worked right from the beginning.
The cruise control is not reliable. It just goes off on its own.
The truck had to be repainted after 4 months. Big patches of paint were coming off the sides of the bed.
The Dakota is very high for up keep.
General comments?
The truck looks great since being repainted.
The truck used to not lack in power.
