2000 Dodge Stratus SE review from North America
"Low performance money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The insurance institute lists the Dodge Status as one of the top 10 cars stolen. I now know why. With all the mechanical problems these units have, its cheaper to steal a parts car for all the things that go wrong.
General comments?
Transmission went out $1800 dollars.
Fuel pump went out $700 dollars.
AC compressor went out $850 dollars
Fan blower switch, 3 of them... dealer states it must be a short somewhere.
