1 Starter problem of the 2006 Dodge Stratus

Failure Date: 12/27/2008

I went to go start my car and it wouldn't start. I went to get someone to give me a jump and it started. I left the car run for 10 min before shutting it off. About an hour later I went back out to start the car and it wouldn't start again only to find out that I needed a whole new starter! of course I was not thinking a starter because of the car being a 2006.
