1991 Dodge Dynasty review from North America
"Strong runner with luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump was leaking at weep hole. Replaced, was leaking again when traded in.
Oil pressure sensor busted, stranding us miles away. After much frustration, just decided to drive it home like that (3 miles) and let the oil leak all over the road and engine compartment.
Right rear window only worked off its own switch.
Never seemed to idle right, and when cold, it would not accelerate to save your life. Once warm, it was OK.
Used a quart of oil every 750 miles.
Trannys were weak, though mine was very reliable.
General comments?
Very comfortable.
Stereo speakers sound good w/aftermarket system.
3.3L was a good, strong engine.
Cruise control and power accessories worked fabulous.
A tad too much body roll even for a full-size (of its day).
Gas mileage was exceptional, but the tank was rather big, as well.
