2001 Dodge Stratus R/T review from North America
"Buy the extended warranty if you purchase this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced at 7000 miles.
Wheel bearing replaced at 7000 miles.
Tires (cost $225/per tire) and brakes replaced twice and now needs again.
Evolve cap replaced.
Starter replaced at 40000 miles.
Alignment bad at 30000 miles.
O2 sensor replaced.
Solenoid in trans needs replacing now!
Many, many trips to the shop!
General comments?
I bought the extended warranty (100K miles) almost one year after I bought this car. I was not impressed with this car and I thought the warranty would be a good idea. It was the best idea I had. Warranty cost about $1200 and I have already used over $4500 in repairs!
This car has great suspension.
Good looking.
Good gas mileage
Poor turning radius.
Quick car!
There is a lot I like about my car, but for all the problems it has had I don't think it was worth the buy.
