1995 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"I hate the car it nearly broke my neck again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went out totally.
My breaks went out totally.
My power steering went out totally.
My door bell is always sounding off.
My seats do not recline properly.
My window whippers do not run well.
My car doors are hard to open.
My engine runs rough even with a tune up.
I had to put in a new starter twice.
I had to repair my horn.
The seat belts failed.
The panel lights all lit up at once while driving.
The car at 70 miles per hour locked up like it was in park and threw me and my son into the window. Then went on as if it never happened.
My car needed several repairs that are too many to list.
General comments?
It would be nice to have a working car.
A car that I can actually depend on.
My car when it does work is very peppy.
It spends more time in the car repair shop than on the road.
I do feel very strongly that the car maker should send out warnings on the instant parking then going that it did to me to cause a full blown Whiplash. Yes I had to go to the emergency room as did my son.
