 In the past eight months the check engine stays on. i had the computer code read and reset twice. after being reset the light returned within 1-2 days. the third time it came on the dealer said the car had a vacuum leak and replaced a cracked hose. on the second day after getting the cat back the check engine light popped back on and stayed on again. they say that there is no short to the sensor or light on the dash yet the light will not go off. a year ago the main computer died and had to be replaced. the car is a 2002 dodge stratus with only 37,000 miles on it. the dealer is stumped, i am out several hundred dollars , and the problem remains. the car has been well maintained. *tr

 Within one week of purchase the consumer had to have a new transmission installed. now the brake lights illuminated when the vehicle made turns. the vehicle was taken to the dealer but the consumer was told that they will not look at it because the vehicle was not under warranty. the consumer wants to know what she can do. *nlm
