Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1996 DODGE STRATUS AND THE HEAD GASKET LEAKS LIKE CRAZY. I ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFAULT IN DESIGN FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. I ASKED IF THEY COULD GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON A RECALL OR HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR IT. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $2500!! UNBELIEVABLE! ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN. I NEED MY "ONLY" MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FIXED! RECALLS NEED TO BE DONE ON THIS CAR FOR THE HEAD GASKET LEAKAGE. *NM
