1999 DODGE STRATUS Complaints

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
