1999 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"It sucks."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes are horrible! I have to replace them every few months.
I have also had to replace the speed censor at about 40,000 miles.
I had to replace the head gasket at about 60,000 miles.
The power window motor stopped working.
I have a crack in the manifold, and another one somewhere else (can't remember too many repairs).
Steering wheel finish has started to come off.
General comments?
I think the car is a piece of junk. I have done nothing but spend money on it since I bought it. The maintenance bills are more than the car note.
