One problem related to rear suspension coil springs has been reported for the 2002 Dodge Stratus. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2002 Dodge Stratus based on all problems reported for the 2002 Stratus.
Rear frame to suspension mount has broke. The shock inside the coil then was able to get lodged into the spring. This made the suspension stuck/immobile. The vehicle was 3-wheeling around corners on the way to the dealership. We were told the part was back-ordered to the factory and was not available at any other dealership across the us. Wait time for the new part is more than a month. I work for an automotive supplier. If its this hard to get a part, something more is wrong. How many others are suffering our fate.
