One problem related to ignition switch has been reported for the 1999 Dodge Stratus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have had ongoing problems with this vehicle in the one year I have owned it. Ive spoken to the dealership and they refused to assist. I most recently had as bazzar experience the day I went to the dealership to get my house key . My key was in the ignition as I was removing key, I fet a mild shock traveling through my arm then into my watch which maintained a vibration for a log time and eventually causing it to never work again this was an odd occurence becouse I was noticing other starange thing in the vehicle . Such as my odometer suddenly accumulating mialeage at a unbelivable rate prior to my scheduled repair appointment at the dealership, (for an oil leak) that ended up being a blown head gasket(that incedently was not under warrenty) becouse of the milage. ) first they claimed I was 200 miles over then someone said 14 but was finaly recorded as 7 to portfolio (my extende warranty provider. ) please keep in mind that I informed the service writter of the odometer occurence and of a buzzing sound I heard in the steering wheel and other electrical experiences. All of which were just brushed off. Furthermore, please note that my vehicle was under the warranty mialege when I made the appoitment and I was never told that it had to be under the mialegae when it arrived. (actually I do believe I was under the mileage when I arrived) so I ended up paying out of my own pocket approx 400. 00 dollars. Only to have my air bags deploy suddenly for no apparent reason,. Which I feel caused me to hit the center island of a busy street,suddenl facing on comming traffic. I was able to manouvere the car over another curb to a safe area. Now moss br Dodge in san bernardino reuses to except responsiblity even after I had coplaid about the strange bussing sounf that could be heard in the steering wheel months before this happended. Now im struggling to repair my car . Please if you know of any attorney or recorse I can take please inform me. Sincerely a. Ayalar.
