What are the most common problems with the Dodge Dakota?
I’ve had my Dodge Dakota for many years now, and I’m noticing that I’ve started needing to take it in for repairs more often than I used to. What are some of the most common problems I can expect with the Dodge Dakota, so I can plan ahead for repairs?

RepairPal reports the following issues as the most common ones encountered by Dakota owners:
- Stalling or failure to start due to Cam Sensor failure
- Broken exhaust manifold bolts
- Coolant leaks
- Stripped steering knuckle threads
- Intermittent connection in crank position sensor wire connector causing engine problems
Keep in mind: Not all of these issues are reported on all model years of the Dakota, so checking RepairPal or CarComplaints on your own is a great way to see what you could expect from your particular
