2004 Dodge Dakota SXT review from North America
"This truck performs better than I expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rocker arm on right side came off due to carbon build up around valve, I had valve replaced and carbon cleaned from engine. It had 12,758 miles on it at that time.
Seat belts do not retract about 50% of the time.
It will pop out of 3rd gear when going over bumps or rail road tracks.
General comments?
This truck has good power even when loaded down.
This is a standard cab truck which is a little cramped, but the bucket seats are comfortable.
It has a short turn radius which I really like.
