Head gasket, tear main seal, performance problems. Hesitates and seems to have a fuel filter problem or a dirty fuel filter.
Transmission leaks.
Head gasket at 30,000
Rear main at 35,000
Fuel filter or pump problems at 70,000.
Have fun paying more than its worth in repairs. Plus I don't think anyone knows what's really wrong with these cars. They just give it their best guess and charge you too much. I give up. I would rather set this car on fire than get another repair done.
I have just recently discovered the problems associated with my Stratus. Right now it's the head gasket that is leaking at 65,000 miles, but I have also had a sensor replaced and the brake pads changed. Minor electrical problems also seem to be creeping up on me. This is all very disappointing to a full-time student with two jobs!
I have the same problems and Dodge told me tough! Head Gasket at 65,000 OK? I don't think so! This is the last Dodge I will ever own! I am a college student and this is a waste of money! Email me RandyCusack@yahoo.com.
I purchased my nightmare new in 97.The car has had wiring
harness, head gasket, altenator, steering rack, inner/outer tyrods, and as I type the 3rd transmission is being installed. My bad dream goes thru tires like water and is in
for major repairs at least once a month. This is one of motor trends 10 best for 97.My odometer reads 66,856.Show
me the worst,we'll trade. Dodge does not stand behind
thier product. they sell it and laugh as you drive away.
I have a 96 stratus with a plethora of problems. I have a Hesitation in the engine. The electrical system can't decide whether it wants to be on or off -- On / Off/ On / Off. The Suspension has been all changed. The Fuel filter and fuel injectors seem to get clogged, more often than I can buy fuel injector cleaner for the car. This car is costing me more than the car is worth. It costs me $2000 a year to keep it on the road. I would not recommend a Dodge product, if this is the quality that they provide for their products.
