1996 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"Roomy and great family car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First the head gasket started to leak and I got it fixed.
Afterwards I found out that engine seal from the 2nd block was leaking, which is a major job.
Third the car ran out of front brakes pads, rotors and drum brakes in the back.
General comments?
I would like to gather all the people who are having the same oil leaking problem so we could complain to Chrysler company and get a recall on the 2.4liter engines.
