One problem related to automatic transmission cooler has been reported for the 1997 Dodge Stratus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Intermittent delayed engagement at vehicle start up. Acceleration shudder during torque converter emcc operation at 28-42mph due to leak in transmission front pump. This is chrylser's a604 transmission that was renamed to 41te transmission in 1992. If I had known chrylser knew they were putting a defective transmission in their new Stratus, I would not have bought one.
