Nothing has really gone wrong with this Stratus except for the dealer recalls that were sent out.
I'm still waiting for all the bad things that I have heard to start happening, hope I don't jinx myself.
The only thing that I am irritated about with this 98 Stratus is the fact that when the temperature gets down to zero or below, the front and rear suspension creaks badly. Chrysler dealer here says there is no fix.
This Stratus has been a pretty good car so far.
Handles and looks great.
Good performance cruising in town or on the highway.
Other than the suspension and a couple of interior noises, it's a great car!
Oh my goodness, I have the same problem with my 98 stratus. The noise when it is cold out. All in all though, I truly love my car!! Sorry to all those who have had such issues with theirs.
I am so relieved to have bought a new car and am getting rid of my 98 stratus. lemon doesn't even touch what that terrible car was to me. I will never buy another dodge car because of this issue. thanks to dodge - I bought a Chevy. that car took more fluids per day than I required for my own body.
