1999 Dodge Stratus SE review from North America
"Unreliable, pricey"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It loses it's power just out of the blue, no warning whatsoever. This has just started happening. We thought it was after a 2hr. drive or so, but not true, today it stopped after just driving for 20 min. or so.
Sometimes it will sit for a few minutes and then go again and then lose power and sit then go again. It is the most frustrating experience ever.
General comments?
I like the ride and look and general overall performance, but this power issue is a pain in the butt.
Technicians have no idea what's causing it. We just keep guessing and keep spending money in repairs.
I'm about ready to ditch it. Have only owned it for about 6 months.
