1996 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"Mechanically Horrible. Nice design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power steering fluid that kept leaking. Even when filled, it would get hot and smoke after about an 1/2 hour of driving.
General comments?
I parked the car, shut off the engine and the about 15 minutes later, the car was on fire. My mechanic has determined that faulty wiring/component box was to blame.
