1997 Dodge Stratus ES review from North America
"Great car!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sensors malfunctioned at 155 000, I just took it out and cleaned the oil build up off and it worked fine.
For some reason the trunk only opens with the key sometimes.
Engine burns a little oil.
General comments?
Engine runs great besides burning oil, the car handles very well and looks good. The auto stick lets you rev the engine and is a lot faster then the automatic. Even though I was in an accident recently the cars alignment is perfect and theres no major flaws I can complain about.
