1990 Dodge Daytona ES review from North America
"I love these cars, I think that they are the best!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It leaked oil, so replaced the valve gaskets.
It shakes when going down the road, and I have been told by mechanics that the bearings are going out on it.
My left turn signal hardly works.
My odometer quit, but I fixed it.
The vacuum lines have gone bad on my headlights, so when they are turned off, they have to be cranked back down by hand using the emergency knobs.
The fuel pump just went out this last Christmas.
General comments?
I love the car, and won't trade it for anything else.
I bought a 97 Eclipse RS and I still love the Daytona even more! It seems to be faster.
I own 3 Daytona's including this one, and the problems they all have had are pretty much minor.
My car is tough; I can drive it to college and know that I will get there safe. It has only broken down on me twice, once the battery terminal loosened up and the second time the fuel pump stopped in the middle of the road. Still not much trouble from it.
It is a road hugger I drove it during the winter last year and wasn't even afraid that I would slide off the road. Actually it handles excellent in rain.
