My break caliper resistance spring was missing on date of purchase.
It caused the truck to drift and cause excessive wear on the tires.
This is my first vehicle, and I am very proud to be the owner. Performance is great, having a 3.9L V6 engine allows great power when needed, and has a good fuel economy rate.
I haven't spent any money on maintenance yet.It's a very solid truck and I reccommend this truck to any who are looking to buy a truck for the first time.
I own a 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport strait cab.
I purchased this vehicle at a very low price for only 6,400. Nothing to fancy came with the truck. It's pretty much stock everything.
I own a 2000 Dodge Dakota (V6, 3.9L, 2wd) and saw the sensors within the transmission go at 29,000 miles. Next I saw the rear differential go at 50,000 miles. Both of these repairs should have been covered by the extended warranty on the vehicle, but Dodge refused to pay. My mechanic, that eventually fixed the problem with the rear, looked over the warranty and could not decipher what was even covered. Complete waste of buying an extended warranty. Nothing seems to be covered ever, has too many loopholes for them to decline paying. Clear coat on these trucks is terrible; roof of the cab continues to peel off. I have been preventing spread of the peeling, but it is starting to get bad.
Customer service is terrible at corporate Dodge, spoke with someone who actually yelled at me when I asked if the repairs were covered, Yelled at me! I was stunned; it was like being 5 years old and scolded by your parents for doing something wrong. Terrible.
After this I would never recommend buying a Dodge to anyone, ever.
