1998 Dodge Dakota Sport review from North America
"Not very impressed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have to replace rotor each time I replace front brake pads
175000 KMs - daytime running light module
170000 KMs - water pump, rack and pinion
150000 KMs - ball joints, shocks (oh, and lets not forget yet another set pf brakes & rotors)
130000 KMs - Air conditioner
123000 KMs - Serpentine belt tensioner seized.
Truck is gutless. Very hard time passing cars on highway. Brakes & rotors always need replacing. Still original battery, alternator & starter. Pig on gas!! Not to sure if I'd buy another. GMC was better on gas with less repairs, but less room. I don't know, maybe bought a lemon or it was made on a Friday!
General comments?
Large interior, nice ride.
