1998 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"Fairly well engineered vehicle!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has really gone wrong with this Stratus except for the dealer recalls that were sent out.
I'm still waiting for all the bad things that I have heard to start happening, hope I don't jinx myself.
The only thing that I am irritated about with this 98 Stratus is the fact that when the temperature gets down to zero or below, the front and rear suspension creaks badly. Chrysler dealer here says there is no fix.
General comments?
This Stratus has been a pretty good car so far.
Handles and looks great.
Good performance cruising in town or on the highway.
Other than the suspension and a couple of interior noises, it's a great car!
