| I have had numerous problems with this vehicle, other than those listed, plus there is much more information to support the problems i have listed. i have experienced a heater core failure, brakes replaced already twice on the vehicle with less than 40,000 miles on the car. i have had a defective seat belt (passenger), the timing chain is a major engine repair that i just had down. now i am still dealing with the residule prodblem with my heating/defrost since k & m replaced my water pump on 10/17/01. overall i consider this car to be a real piece of crap and i absolutely would never buy another stratus and in fact, i will never buy another chrysler vehicle ever. i feel i have stung with a lemon and basically i no legal recourse which is very unfair to me, the consumer. i am still paying on this piece of crap. if nothing else, i hope to warn anybody else, please do your homework ahead of time and don't buy a dodge stratus. any assistance nhtsa might offer would be greatly appreciated. i can provide any documentation and detail that you require. thank you. | |||
