1985 Dodge Lancer 5 door sedan hatchback review from North America
"Not so much the car, but the dealer that sucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front CV shafts are going out.
The fuel filter cracked.
The distributor went out.
Also there was a hole in the exhaust.
The seats are losing their upholstery.
General comments?
We've had the local Dodge dealer work on the car and they obviously did a bad job.
