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.
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.
The internet... The thing you are using to whine about your car on... It is ALSO very useful for finding solutions. If you took any time, you could find on the web several sites dedicated to Stratus's. Or Strati. Lol... Anyways, www.stratusphere.net. There you can find answers to all your stratus related difficulties. Everyday, people like you go and whine and complain about their cars because they no nothing about them. Then, smart people, who know about cars come along, and tell you what to tell your mechanic to fix. That's all there is to it. It doesn't cost any money, because these smart people are also very nice to others who share, if nothing else, the same taste in cars. So give it a shot, whiny. You might learn something.
Uh... the car had almost 150,000 miles on it when you bought it, and you brought it up to 166k miles. Stop complaining.
