1996 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"I am pretty disappointed. I usually love Dodge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went out at 60,000.
Car has had a continuous popping sound that nobody can diagnose (since I got it).
Other minor, but nuisance problems all the time after about 50,000 miles.
General comments?
I like the car as far as comfort goes and design, but after that 50,000 I had so many problems with it, I would just not recommend this car to anyone.
I also had a horror of a time dealing with the dealer mechanics in trying to get things fixed. I must have taken it in 3 times for all of the part recalls.
