Consumer Description

2004 DODGE STRATUS - APPROX 90,000 MILES AT FIRST, I NOTICED A THUMPING ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WHILE TRYING TO DETERMINE CAUSE, THE REAR STRUT MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE DUE TO CORROSION. IT WAS ALSO SEEN AT THIS TIME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRACKET WAS BROKE AS WELL, LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE AND UNSAFE. AFTER WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD US THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THIS PART AND NO FORESEEN DATE OF WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR. WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED LOCAL SALVAGE YARDS TO FIND REPLACEMENTS UNTIL THE NEW PARTS ARRIVE, WITH NO SUCCESS. *TR
