problem #2

Jan 202006

Dakota 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 29,800 miles
I have a 2002 Dodge Dakota (with less than 30,000 miles, which I bought brand new) and I was having water pool on my passenger side floor after it rains, so I took it to the dealer and they told me that the seal on my rear window was faulty. I replaced my back window and now the water is gone. I have asked several other people who own Dakota's and they have all said that they have had water either on the passenger side or drivers side at some point. I have even been to online forums to see if people throughout the us have this problem and it seem to be very common. Check out www.dodgedakotas.com.
