Consumer Description

MY CAR SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF WHILE IN PARKING LOTS OR AT RED LIGHTS. WHEN I GOT OUT LAST TIME I LET MY CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND UNDERNEATH THE HOOD WAS ALL HOT! THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY AND THEY WOULD NEED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I READ A WEBSITE FORUM FULL OF STRATUS' THAT ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY STOP WITHOUT WARNING, THE RADIO STAYS ON AND EVERYTHING! THIS COULD LEAD TO A WRECK!*JB
