I believe that you will find this on any truck or car list. I know that I see
the same thing on the Impala list. The main reason is that the people
that don't have problems never post anything. The people that post
are haveing problems and looking for answers.
I have a 95 Dakota V8 CC that I bought new. It has 47,000 miles
on it. The only problem it has ever had is a bad battery cable. The
battery cable going to the starter opened up at about 12,000 miles.
That's the only time it has even gone back to the dealer. I do all the
normal maintance work myself. So far my Dakota has been the
most trouble-free car or truck that I have ever owned.
