1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2008

I have a 2003 Dodge Stratus se. The check engine light has been coming on along with the oil light. I have been told I have a bad pcm/ecm. I have taken it to the dealership and been advised that the computer in my car should not be bad this soon. If my computer goes out I will be unable to use my car which is needed for school and work.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2004

The dash in my car shortly after I bought it stated coming apart. It has completely separated from the defroster. In addition, all of the vent covers, ect. No longer are secure. The entire dash and components are in horrible condition. . I called the dealer and they said it was not covered in the warranty which was bumper to bumper. In`addition my defroster is horrible. When you have it in floor mode it blows on the windshield and it fogs up constantly. The electrical componets go crazy every once in a while, no power to the car ect. Have to turn car on and off and few times and then it will be fine. One of my wipers came loose and I have to keep a wrench in my car at all time is case I need to tighten it in the middle of a rain storm. It will fall right off and the metal will be dragging across my window.
