1992 Dodge Daytona review from North America
"What it saves you in gas it takes back in repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a fuel line leak which was not expensive to fix, but very dangerous.
The radiator was leaking and completely blew at 164900.
The bushings in the door had to be replaced because it made the door chime continuously and the power locks keep locking while driving.
The front brake pads wore out. Luckily I replaced them before I destroyed the rotors.
The exhaust had a hole since about 170000 km and was recently replaced.
Now the water pump is leaking and will have to be replaced soon.
General comments?
As you can see I have had many problems considering I have had the car only 20000 km. I do not drive the car hard, but perhaps the last owner did.
The car is easy on gas and looks a lot nicer than my old Delta 88 which was wrecked in an accident. I only wish it would stop breaking down.
