1995 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter needed replaced. It just decided not to start one day. $350.
Sometimes in the rain going over 40mph the car would start to jump and would eventually stall.
Just replaced front brakes, $60 for parts and a friend did the labor.
Cruise control didn't work when I got the car.
Car was given to me. She bought it with insurance money for $900.00, had previously been wrecked and had salvage title due to air bags not being replaced after the wreck. I have also wrecked the car (both wrecks damaged the front of the car. I rear-ended someone in a pick up with a hitch...)
The car no longer looks good because of the wreaks, my dad was able to bend the hood back into place instead of replacing it entirely.
General comments?
Decent gas mileage and great get-up-and-go!
This car has gone above and beyond my expectations! The transmission is a little jumpy sometimes when coming to a stop. All the windows and radio still work, although I blew out the speaker on the door and it rattles now. It has 186,000 miles on it and has been wrecked twice but still drives perfectly! It has little trouble speeding up and drives smooth. Steering is great as well. I have been very happy with this car but I think it is time for me to step up from the appearance and the fact that is has no AC, CD player, sunroof, and most of all, airbags!
