1 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2002 Dodge Stratus

Failure Date: 08/28/2010

I purchased a 2002 Dodge Stratus r/t. The main problem that I am experiencing strong (dangerous) gas fumes are entering the cabin. It's been going on since Feb 2009. I can smell the fumes almost all of the time while driving the vehicle. The smell is strong outside the vehicle even while it is parked with the engine running. I cannot drive my vehicle with the air conditioning or heat on because it sucks the gasoline fumes from the engine into the cabin. I've taken the vehicle to the dealership several time and they cannot find the source of the leak. Also I've had other mechanics look at this vehicle and they don't know how fix the problems. I cannot allow passengers to ride in my vehicle because I have concerns for their safety. I believe there is a safety defect (fire hazard/poisonous) and that someone really needs to look into this. I'm getting frequent headaches, weakness and dizziness and cannot afford to purchase a new car right now.

3 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2006 Dodge Stratus

Failure Date: 02/15/2010

Since 2006 my '06 Dodge Stratus has spontaneously accelerated approximately seven times, most recently in February 2010. Idling in a driveway or at an intersection, the engine will begin to race as if I had floored the gas pedal. Only by shifting into park and/or turning off the ignition am I able to prevent the car from accelerating into the intersection or a wall. The Dodge dealer who regularly serviced the vehicle said they could not diagnose the problem unless the car was hooked up to their equipment at the time of the next occurrence. Consequently, nothing has been done to fix this.

5 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 1998 Dodge Stratus

Failure Date: 07/23/2009

My name is rossetta dunbar. This complaint is for the car allowance rebate system. I feel that my car is eligible for the clunkers for cash program. It is a clunker, it is 11 years old. But because the mpg is 22 I was told I don't qualify. Why haven't it been made a little easier for those that own old vehicles period? I feel this isn't done fairly and it could be changed. This will be break for those who can't afford to upgrade to better cars. Those that are low income workers.
