1998 Dodge Stratus review from North America
"I will never buy another dodge/chrysler again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Was told head gasket to go any time now.
Just replaced tie rod ends.
Needs rear brakes replaced.
Blower resistor goes every 6 months or so. cheap repair, but irritating after a while.
Stereo goes in and out occasionally depending if I am braking/accelerating? still no idea what's causing that one.
The battery is somewhere in the wheel well, have to take off tire to even change the battery!!!
General comments?
It does have some zip.
It is extremely roomy compared to some other sedans.
