134 of 443 parts name an engine. The other 283 fit any, so choosing one here only narrows those 134.

Each row below pairs something owners report with the shelf that answers it. Rows with no counterpart are listed separately underneath, and neither list is a ranking of quality.

What owners report

6 of 12 components, the largest by share, together 70.0% of all mentions. 5,645 reports filed with NHTSA from 1996 to 2025, read through 15 name and year queries against 1 source name. A report can name more than one component, so these 5,645 reports carry 7,993 mentions, 1.42 for each report, and every share below is of those 7,993. 110 more mentions were filed as unknown or other and are excluded from both the rows and the total.

Editorial note

What the complaints table says

NHTSA is the government agency that logs a complaint whenever an owner calls or writes in, and the Dakota carries 5,645 of them on file.

Suspension leads at 21.6%, with Service Brakes next at 13.5%.

Hydraulic, Power Train, Air Bags, and Steering are the other categories owners mentioned most.

That percentage is about how often the topic came up in complaints, not a forecast for any one truck.

What the parts table says

Drivetrain & Transmission is the deepest shelf here, 223 parts across 5 brands, right where Power Train complaints point.

Brakes adds another 2 parts, matching a row on the left.

Exhaust Systems and Tools & Equipment sit outside anything owners reported, at 130 and 13 parts.

Suspension leads every complaint at 21.6%, and Suspension & Steering lists 12 parts.
