1995 Dakota trans problems
I love the way my Dakota drove. It was quiet inside. There was no road noise at all when driving. But one day, out of the blue, I was driving to a funeral, and I was on the highway, it was slightly raining outside. The roads were wet, and my transmission literally just stopped working. Like a light switch it went from working to non working on the freeway! I didn't have a wreck luckily, but it scared me. I had my mechanic fix the transmission, and that was very expensive and took a week to do. The mechanic told me that the Dakota trucks are prone to transmission problems. He has seen many of them in his years as a mechanic, and apparently Dodge has never fixed the problem. He said that even the newer Dakotas and Ram trucks are having these same issues. Other than the problem with the transmission, my truck is wonderful still. I'm still driving it on weekends. I haven't had any other big issues with the truck and have only had to do oil changes and replace belts, fuses and regular maintenance items on the vehicle. So overall, I would say that before buying this vehicle, have your mechanic thoroughly check it out. Just be aware that this problem may occur for your truck like it did mine and many others!

Amazing truck!
This truck can haul a piano! We used it to haul an upright piano over 200 miles, and it did it without issue! It is very comfortable and a workhorse! The ride is smooth, and the look is stylish. I love this truck! It has a great sound system and love that it has a CD player in it when so many vehicles now don't! We have put over 200,000 miles on this truck, and it has held up beautifully. Love the size of this truck. It isn't too big or too small.

Excellent vehicle.
My 1991 Dodge Dakota runs in excellent condition. I have had my vehicle for 7 years and able to say that the performance on this vehicle is good. I have had my vehicle all through college and later into my work life. Right now, it is undergoing some repairs, and I hope it gets going again. One thing I like about my Dodge Dakota is the teal color. I love turtles and am happy to call my truck Mr. Turtle. I do love the performance on my truck; I can go from point A to point B. The space in my vehicle is somewhat compacted and can only hold up to 4 people safely. My tail gate is spacious and able to carry items such as furniture. I am able to travel long distance at low speeds since it is an old model and year. I have experienced issues with the anti-break system, radio, and air condition. Although this may be because I bought my vehicle from a family member, I still believe that the Dodge Dakota runs excellent when in working condition.
