Was driving vehicle when it started to lose power. Gears were not shifting properly. Then would regain power. Computer was going off. Took to mechanic, and was informed cylinder head gasket was causing problem, and it could be repaired. The head gasket was determined defective by the mechanic. Water was leaking into the engine causing the computer to malfunctions.
Engine block cracked when vehicle was approx 1 year old. Dodge fixed crack in engine with putty. I was told by Dodge service people that was the standard fix for that problem. The crack has either reopened or a new crack has developed. Local mechanic reports that the head gasket has also failed. I just thought that this should be noted in your files, since I am sure other owners are seeing same problems. A CO-worker has the same year Dodge stratus with same engine and transmission, he has same problem- his was fixed at same time my Caravan was by the same dealer with same putty. He has since traded his vehicle off. Thank you. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***762668.
