MY WIFE TOOK IN OUR 1999 DODGE STRATUS FOR RECALL WORK ON THE IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES GO INTO GEAR WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO DONE THE RECALL WORK, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I THEN CALLED THE DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, AND SHE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. MY QUESTION IS , SHOULD THIS NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL DODGE SHOULD LOOK INTO? *AK

I HAVE HAD MY DODGE STRATUS ES FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AND THE BACK SAFETY SHOULDER HARNESS HAS QUIT WORKING NOW 2 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS LAST TIME THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR IT WITHOUT IT COSTING A SMALL FORTUNE. I THINK THERE SHOULD THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF AUTOMATIC REPAIR OF SAFETY PARTS, SUCH AS, SEAT BELTS, ETC WITHOUT A SMALL FORTUNE HAVING TO BE PAID.*AK

MOST LIKELY THE DRIVER WAS NOT BELTED BECAUSE HE WAS PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FIRE. IMPACT SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH. CW

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR (CHRYSLER STRATUS, YEAR 1999), AND AFTER SHE PARK THE CAR IN A SHOPPING CENTER WITH MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER (4 YEARS OLD) *LA

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE STRATUS WITH A LEAKY HEAD GASKET. I WAS TOLD BY MANY MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS. WHEN I WENT TO DODGE ABOUT IT THEY SAID THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT IT AND THAT THE NEW MODEL STRATUS' HAD BEEN FIXED. BUT WITH ALL THAT I HAVE READ IT SEEMS THAT THEY SAY THIS EVERY YEAR AND THESE CARS STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. I DON'T HAVE $1200.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE AND POOR CRAFTSMAN SHIP. I PUT AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY FOUR DAYS OR SO. WHEN EVER I CALL AND ASK ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO HELP THEIR ANSWER IS, THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM AND I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. I HAD TO POST-PONE SCHOOL THIS SEMESTER BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. I GO TO SCHOOL AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY AND I CAN'T WORRY WETHER OR NOT IT WILL MAKE IT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PUT MY EDUCATION ON HOLD FOR THIS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND MAKE THE OUTRAGEOUS $320.00 A MONTH PAYMENTS AND INSURE IT. IF THIS CAR BREAKS DOWN I AM OUT OF LUCK. I WOULD HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I WOULD BE STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DOESN'T GO. I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FIRES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. *AK

I WAS STOPPING THE CAR TO PARK AND SUDDENLY IT ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, BRAKES DIDNT STOP THE CAR NOT EVEN PARKING BRAKE AND CRASH OCURRED DAMAGING PROPERTY AND THE CAR ITSELF. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER BUT CAUSE WAS NOT FOUND. *AK

EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF VEHICLE STOP AND STALL DURING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER THE PAST 3 WEEKS. WE TREATED THE GAS FOR POSSIBLE WATER, CHANGED FUEL FILTER, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTED. RAN CHECKS AND DETERMINED IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. I REMOVED THE ORINGINAL PUMP AND NOTED THAT THE WIRING WAS BARE AND BURNED ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE INSIDE. I SAVED THE PUMP TO SHOW, AND WILL CONTACT DEALER TOMMORROW. I NOTED SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE, THIS IS VERY SCARY CONSIDERING WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH THIS PROBLEM, I THINK EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS CAR NEEDS TO CHECK THIS OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, IS THERE ANY RECOURSE TO BE TAKEN OR WAY TO RECOVER ASSOCIATED COSTS? PLEASE NOTIFY OF ANY INFORMATION.*AK

I PURCHASED A SET OF FOUR B.F. GOODRICH TOURING T/A P195-70R14 M+S FROM BJS WHOLESALE CLUB IN WEST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT ON AUGUST 29, 2001. INVOICE 3574172, DOT BFRWB01122. ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE SINCE FAILED, ONE AT A TIME, DUE TO INSIDE SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. ALL OCCURRED WELL WITHIN THEIR 65,000 MILE TREAD WEAR WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT SIDEWALL BLOWOUT IS NOT COVERED. IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT ALL FOUR TIRES IN ONE SET SHOULD EXPERIENCE SIDEWALL BLOWOUT ON THE IN SIDE OF THE TIRE WITHOUT IT BEING A FACTORY DEFECT. IS THERE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR TIRES? IS THERE A RECALL? IF NOT, THERE SHOULD BE.*AK

I OWN A 1999 DODGE STRATUS AND IT HAS ONE HUNDRED FORTY THREE THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED POURING OUT TRANY FLUID AND THEY TELL ME I NEED TO REPLACE IT, I DID ALL SCHEDULED MAINTAINANCES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELEIVE I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SO SOON.*AK

MY 1999 DODGE STRATUS HAS A HEAD GASKET OIL LEAK WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES. IT WILL COST $800 TO REPAIR. AFTER DOING EXTENSION RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE STRATUS. NOW I HAVE READ THAT THIS COULD BE FATAL TO DODGE OWNERS DUE TO THE FIRE RISK. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DODGE STRATUS AND TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED.*AK

ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CUPPED, WHICH CAUSED ROAD NOISE. *PH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROAD NOISE. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS FINE, BUT IT DID BRAKES. *JB

WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT BECAME VERY TIGHT. *NM

MY SON DROVE HIS 1999 DODGE STRATUS BACK TO HIS COLLEGE DORMITORY WHEN HE SAW SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HE PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE JUST BEFORE FIRE ERUPTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE TOTALED HIS SON'S VEHICLE AS WELL AS DAMAGED AN ADJACENT VEHICLE.

BLOWN HEAD GASKET, SECOND 1999 DODGE STRATUS WE HAVE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED. WAS THIS NOT RECALLED, I SEE ALOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.*AK

THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. RECALL#04V021000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WAS NOT COOPERATIVE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

HEAD GASKET LEAKING OIL MUCH OIL. REPAIR COST WAS EXCESSIVE. CAR IS GARAGED AND MAINTAINED VERY WELL.

COMPRESSOR BLEW OUT-CAR SHAKES HARD NOW. SELF ADJUSTING BRAKES DON'T FEEL RIGHT, THEY FEEL WEAK. ROLLING WINDOWS DOWN TAKES AWAY POWER TO THE CAR, OR AC. BRAKES MAKE UNUSUAL NOISES BUT DODGE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM, MY MECHANIC SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED BUT DODGE SAID THE BRAKES ADJUST THEMSELVES

WHILE DRIVING THE CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BUT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. *NLM

1999 DODGE STRATUS WITH MALFUNCTION/DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET. *LA

THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE RAISED THE VEHICLE USING A JACK, IT COLLAPSED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FALL TO THE GROUND. *AK *SCC *JB

CAR HAS MASSIVE OIL LEAK FROM HEAD GASKET AT REAR OF DRIVERS SIDE HEAD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. IS THERE A RECALL OR ANY INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER? IF NOT? WHY? *LA

THE PAINT ON THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR IS FALLING OFF BECAUSE IT DID NOT ADHERE WELL TO THE PLASTIC. A LARGE AREA NOW IS ONLY BLACK PLASTIC AND PAINT CONTINUES TO FLAKE OFF ANY OF THE PLASTIC PARTS.

SPARK PLUGS CONTINUE TO MISFIRE AFTER A FULL TUNE UP. CYLINDERS ARE NOT PROPERLY RUNNING CAUSING MISFIRE. CAR IS EXTREMELY UNEFFICIENT.

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHEN IT WAS PARKED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. FIRE STARTED FROM THE LEFT FRONT COMPARTMENT PER THE FIRE REPORT, BUT WHERE THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM WAS UNDETERMINED. *AK

MY 1999 DODGE STRATUS VIN # [XXX] 2.4 LITER MOTOR HAD A BAD FUEL PUMP. UPON REPLACEMENT MY MECHANIC NOTICE THAT THE SENSOR WIRING THAT CONNECTS TO THE PUMP INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK HAD BURNT UP AND MELTED . THE ONLY THING THAT POSSIBLE KEPT THE VEHICLE FROM BLOWING UP WAS THE GAS CAP WAS ON TIGHT AND THERE WAS NO AIR IN THE TANK. IT MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR NOW KNOWING WHAT STILL OR WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND KIDS IF THE GAS TANK EXPLODED OR CAUGHT ON FIRE I KEPT THE PUMP TO SHOW THE BURNT CONNECTIONS. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON WHAT TO DO TO ENSURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN OR SO SOMEONE ELSE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN HOT WEATHER, THE DASH LIGHTS/ WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL DEALERS, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. *AK *TS *JB

A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR (DODGE STRATUS 1999) AFTER I PARKED IT AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANYTHING AMISS. FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT I AM TOLD THE CAR CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I HAVE HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS CAR. *JB

TOOK MY '99 STRATUS TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN OIL LEAK. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM AND THAT IS COMMON IN THAT YEAR. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS CONFIRMING THIS. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY DENY HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND OTHER SITES HE AGAIN DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE THERE IS NO WAY I WILL EVER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD.*AK

WASHER JETS AND HOSES FOR WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE CLOGGING AND RESULT IN SYSTEM FAILURE TO OPERATE. THIS TOOK THREE SERVICE CALLS TO RESOLVE AND SHOULD BE COVERED AS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE MOTOR THAT OPERATES THE SPRAYERS LAST YEAR AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. PER DEALERSHIP, THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AND HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED WHICH MEANS OWNERS ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *NLM

MY WIFE DROVE ABOUT 25 MINUTES TO A FLEA MARKET. BYSTANDERS THERE TOLD HER THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHE STOPPED, THEY TOLD HER THAT HER VEHICLE IS ON FIRE AND TO GET OUT. SHE IMMEDIATELY GOT HER CHILDREN OUT. A MAN THERE POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE THE DAY BEFORE.

WHILES PARKING THE VEHICLE AND MOVING BACK AND FORTH THE FRONT WHEEL BROKE (SUSPENSION). *NLM

PROBLEM WITH BRAKING SYSTEM.*JB

THERE IS AN OIL LEAK (FROM THE HEAD GASKET) ON MY 1999 DODGE STRATUS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT EVERY DODGE STRATUS THAT HE HAS SEEN WITH AN OIL LEAK HAS BEEN COMING FROM THE HEAD GASKET AND I HAVE HEARD OTHER STRATUS OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

REAR ENDED A TRUCK WHERE THE FRONT END OF THE STRATUS WENT UNDER THE TRUCK'S BUMPER. POINT OF IMPACT WAS JUST UNDER WHERE THE HOOD LATCHES CAUSING THE HOOD TO BUCKLE UP, DOING DAMAGE TO BOTH FRONT QUARTER PANELS, BROKE RADIATOR AND PUSHED IT BACK INTO THE ENGINE, BROKE AIR COMPRESSOR, BOTH HEAD LIGHTS, AND CAUSED 'CRACKING' IN THE WINDSHIELD. NOT SURE OF SPEED AT TIME OF IMPACT BUT SPEED OF CAR BEFORE IMPACT WAS AROUND 45 MPH, DRIVER HIT BRAKES HARD BUT NOT ENOUGH DISTANCE TO STOP - THERE WERE SKID MARKS ABOUT 2 FEET IN LENGTH. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!

THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART.*JB

CONSUMER WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T UPON COLLISION. TS

ON JUNE 22, 2002 I WAS DIRVING MY CAR TO WV. HALF WAY THERE THE TRANSMISSION 'POPPED' OUT OF 5TH GEAR. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT IN SEARCH OF ASSISTANCE WHERE I FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT REMAIN IN 3RD GEAR EITHER. IN THIS SMALL TOWN I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYONE WHO COULD/WOULD LOOK AT MY CAR SO I PROCEEDED TO CHARLESTON WHERE MY DAD AND A COUSIN WHO COULD LOOK AT MY CAR WERE. IT WAS FOUND THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD NO FLUID IN IT - SO THIS WAS REPLACED WITH FLUID AS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE SO WE COULD GET BACK TO RICHMOND. ALL 360 MILES I HAD TO DRIVE HOLDING MY GEAR SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR OR 3RD GEAR WHEN NEEDED IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. THE DEALERSHIP WAS WONDERFUL! THEY SAID MY CLUTCH CABLE WAS BROKEN AND I HAD SEVERAL OIL LEAKS! THEY REPAIRED EVERYTHING AND IT WAS ALL COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRENTY. THANK YOU FOR THAT WARRENTY! MY CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 40,000 MILES AT THE TIME.

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION. UPON LOOKING OVER THE CAR THEY FOUND SEVERAL (ABOUT 4) OIL LEAKS. THESE WERE REPAIRED AND COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRENTY SINCE MY CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 40,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME.

TOOK CAR IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE BEFORE TAKING ANOTHER TRIP OUT OF TOWN. THIS WAS JUST 2 MONTHS AFTER HAVING OIL LEAKS REPAIRED AND CLUTCH CABLE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED ON CLUTCH CABLE AND ALL WAS FINE, HOWEVER UPON PROCEEDING WITH OIL CHANGE THEY FOUND 2 MORE OIL LEAKS! THESE WERE REPAIRED AND COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRENTY. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS WARRENTY RUNS OUT?
