1991 Dodge Daytona from North America - Comments

"All in all this car is awesome, it has some quirks, but doesn't everyone?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The fuel pump went bad about a week after I bought the car.

The interior headliner fell down.

The car has developed a massive oil leak that I haven't had a chance to fix yet, I'm guessing oil pan gasket.

General comments?

Other than the setbacks I have had with this car (which are to be expected from a 214,000 mile car) this thing runs amazingly well. Its got power that I hadn't expected when I bought it, low end torque that again I didn't expect and a sense of solidity.

The only issue I have with the car is that over about 65-70 miles an hour the car starts shaking like there's an earthquake in the drivers seat. My fiance's aunt had a Daytona as well and said hers did the same thing. However a Dodge dealership can't find the problem.

I have a 1991 Dodge Daytona. It runs great. Had a couple of sensor problems. No oil leaks yet. I've had it sense 2003. I paid $350 for it. Looks great, runs great, put about $300 into it over this period of time. One trick to it engine running smoother, quieter, and better: When changing the oil use 4 qts. of Valveoline Synthetic oil and one qt. of Lucas Synthetic oil stabilizer.

I have a 2.5 Dodge daytona that needs some work.

The interior headliner fell down.

It has a oil leak, but its not bad.

Clear coat is coming off bad.

The hood realise gets stuck and I can't open the hood.

Drivers seat dosen't work, only one adjustment.

I paid $420 for it, but put $1100 into it. I plan to put another $1000 to $3000 to rebuild the engine, and add a turbo. The 2.5, has a long stroke, it tends to be less racy in the high revs, but it is very powerful for its size.
