Dodge Stratus owners have reported 2 problems related to transmission solenoid (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Dodge Stratus based on all problems reported for the Stratus.
Transmission solenoid leaking along with transmission hose lines. Solonoid was covered in warranty. Hose lines and clamps were not. Car had only 60k. Book specifies transmission service at 100k. I contend that the clamps used on the lines are not able to adjust to the aging hose and cannot last the recommended service time. Adjustable clamps were employed to correct the issue.

Check engine light came on at about 74k miles and went into "limp" mode. Found out the transmission sensor was bad. Replaced sensor at cost of $682. 25. Car has run poorly since that day. Dodge says "nothing wrong with the car" but the car has not ran smoothly from that first repair day. Next. . . While in pennsylvania on military duty, the car leaked all the transmission fluid out. Found out the solenoid pack and fluid lines were leaking. Another $530+ dollars. Both of these parts are listed on auto zones website as recalls with daimler Chrysler for my vehicle. One has a NHTSA number. Daimler Chrysler denies that there are any recalls on my vehicle but does state that other "similar" models and cars are covered for those parts. When we asked daimler Chrysler who we could contact to complain and if there was a national body who looks at vehicle complaints (knowing full well who NHTSA was and how to get in touch with them) daimler Chrysler customer service stated "I don't think there is anyone!" . . . . Wrong answer.
