Car has massive oil leak from head gasket at rear of drivers side head. I have been told this could cause a fire. I fear for the lives of myself and my children. Is there a recall or any investigation on this matter? if not? why?.
Took my '99 Stratus to my mechanic for an oil leak. I was told it was a head gasket problem and that is common in that year. Did some research on the internet and found a number of complaints confirming this. I called Dodge and they deny having any knowledge of the problem. When I told them about the complaints on this and other sites he again denied any knowledge of it. I was told that it's my problem not theirs. After this experience there is no way I will ever buy a Chrysler product again and I don't think anyone should.

Took car in for routine oil change before taking another trip out of town. This was just 2 months after having oil leaks repaired and clutch cable replaced. Dealership checked on clutch cable and all was fine, however upon proceeding with oil change they found 2 more oil leaks! these were repaired and covered under power train warrenty. What happens when this warrenty runs out?.
