1999 Dodge Dakota from North America - Comments

The truck tried to die many of times.

Had to replace the rear speed control sensor.

The oil pressure kept dropping and the check gages light would come on.

This truck was the worst truck we have owned.

It kept having so many problems from the day we bought it. It kept trying to die and then right before we traded it off the oil pressure would drop to zero when we came to a stop and the check gages light would come on. We also had to replace the rear speed control sensor, that went bad and made the check engine light come on.

We should have learned our lesson and stayed away from dodge when our Dodge Ram messed up, but we didn't. We just traded off this Dakota for a 2005 Nissan Frontier, which was the best decision we ever made, this truck is great, we will never again own a Dodge.

I'm sure you'll love your Nissan, until you realize that one needs oil and maintenance, too. Then it will be another worst ever owned.

The trucks oil pressure didn't drop because it needed an oil change, because we changed the oil regularly, it was just a piece of junk you own a truck with the oil pressure dropping when you come to a stop and see how much you like it.

I agree...The dakota is a piece of junk. the only good thing I can say about it is it's a good looking truck. The 3.9 six cyl. engine is the most gutless engine ever built and has nothing, but problems. I have had my truck in for service 11 times and it only has 18,000 kilometres on it. the worst auto I have ever owned. I will never buy another chrysler product. I owned a 1993 jeep cherokee before this truck and it was great... I know jeep is now owned by chrysler so I guess the legend will now die a slow death...

I own a 1999 Dodge Dakota 4x4 3.9l and my truck has had the same problem with the oil pressure gauge dropping. I had the oil changed and since then it started. Now my engine is knocking. I also had problems with power steering pump leaking, the check engine light comes on, I think my next buy is going to be a Chevy.

I bought a 99 RT dakota brand new Solar Yellow-had to replace entire front brake system/lower radiator hose before 10K. Catalytic converter went bad at 3000 miles and I think hurt the motor-was never the same after and it wouldn't get out of its own way. Dodge makes a great lookin vehicle just little skeptical on quality.
