Consumer Description

I HAD MY DODGE STRATUS 2002 SINCE SUMMER OF 2005. WHILE GOING TO WORK ONE MORNING, I THOUGHT I HEARD THAT THE STARTER WAS GOING. I CALLED AND HAD THE MANUFACTURER'S LOCAL INSPECTION SHOP LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN OUT. IF I RECALL THE ENGINE SHOULD BE THE LAST THING TO DIE IN A CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE THE ENGINE SHOULD STILL BE GOING. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ANOTHER CAR DEALER AND NOT THE MANUFACTURER. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INSPECTED. *JB
