Only had my 2003 Dodge Stratus for a few months and having major problems now. When I first got it, everything was in good condition but I still did maintenance work on it anyways. I barely drive my car because I'm a stay at home mom so I don't really put miles on my car. Now my car is suffering problems from within the engine. I was driving one evening and my car just stopped out of nowhere. I did a little research and then went to a mechanic and pretty much my engine is suffering. They also told me that 2. 7 engines are very crappy and doesn't last long. I wish I would've knew that before I bought the car. These cars need to be recalled and made better. Now I'm out of a car.
The car one once moving and then I stop, and put foot on brake, put gear in reverse and give it a little gas, and the vehicle rocks and shakes, and I was park, and put my foot on brake, put the gear in reverse and gave it a litte gas and it rock and shakes. I did just have new spark plugs put on old plugs and wires, and a new fuel tank filler tube.
Reliable mechanics refused to change the oil on my 2003 Dodge Stratus because they don't want to be responsible for an engine which has only 47,200 miles on it. Mechanics state there is a major problem with this engine and sludge build up, and it is likely to need repairs of the engine, ranging from $3,000 and up, soon. As I've done some investigating, I have seen this as a major problem. We are faithful with our oil changes, and feel this company needs to recall this engine and fix this problem. I have three children and I have been reading that these engines just die in the middle of the road with no warning. Dodge will have a much bigger problem if someone gets killed because of their carelessness to fix this problem. I really feel this needs to be adressed ASAP before someone or some family gets seriously injured.
