1 Structure problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2007

I have two large cracks that have appeared in the dash of my vehicle. I do not know how the cracks occurred, they just appeared. Because of the cracks, I'm afraid that in a crash the dash will fall apart and harm those individuals in the vehicle. At this point, nothing has been done to correct this problem.

2 Structure problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2003

Ther is a definite noise in the right front coil spring area. It only shows up on uneven or rough surface roads. The dealer keeps insisting there is nothing wrong with the front end. Of course all of the roads they test drive it on are smooth. They won't let me take a tech on a drive in my area.

3 Structure problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2002

2002 Stratus makes loud noise when turning vehicle and going across road bumps at same time. Our drive has a 6 in sloped curb that when pulling out of, or pulling into, is a constant source of this noise. Dealer service tech went on test ride with me heard the noise and could not find source. He wanted to keep car for several days to determine problem.
