Electrical problems. I had to have a switch replaced. Lights in dash and stereo would dim on and off repeatedly.
All in all, it is a very reliable car.
The car was not worth the price I paid for it used, but I still enjoy it.
It has a very powerful engine.
OK on gas mileage.
However, it makes an odd sound, from the engine when driving. The dealer mechanics seem not to notice.
The stratus has a nice take off from the line. I like the acceleration in the Stratus a whole lot better then my last car which was a 94 Mustang.
I have a 2000 Stratus. It is nice and roomy and has a good-size trunk and I like THAT about it.
However, I have had the car only 3 years and have had to put a lot of money into it. New brakes, new heating system, and also the car idled very high all of the time and I had to spend about $600 to get that fixed as well. As much as I've liked my car, it definitely has not been worth it.
I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus ES and it is the best car I have owned yet.
