| I am so dissatisfied with my 2002 dodge stratus se. ever since i bought my car in jan 2003, i have had more problems with this car than any other. my car leaks fluids constantly, my breaks don't work when applied, my car hesitates in all weather circumstances, my windshield makes a crackling noise, my doors squeak along with my trunk lid. not to mention that i get anywhere from 10-15 miles per gallon for gas. i drive for about 40 min and half of my gas is gone!!! this vehicle is a hazard to the road and anyone or thing it comes in contact with :-( i never recommend my car to anyone and am ashamed to say it's mine. dodge is definately one dealer that i wil never ever ever buy another car from!!!!! *ak | |||

| Acorn nuts securing aluminum windshield wiper arms to their splines loosen up. spline holes in wiper arms strip,causing loss of wiper function. wiper motor and linkage appear to function normally. no apparent use of locking devices (lock washer, loctite, etc.) to keep nuts tight. *cb | |||
