1996 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America
"The worst automobile ever created!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission dropped 13 days after purchase.
Head gasket blew... twice! Once at 58000, once at 77000. Second time after only 18 months.
Air conditioner went at 45000.
Starter at 74000.
Tire rods at 65000.
Piston misfiring at 76000.
Computer chip malfunction... twice!
Digital display on radio went at 30000.
General comments?
This car has been a piece of junk! And Dodge has done nothing to assist me! It has been a total lemon and I will now seek legal advice! Never, EVER buy a Dodge! The car is awful and the service departments are worse! Please, do not buy Dodge.
