Consumer Description

MY 2006 STRATUS HAS JUST 44,000 MILES. I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER MY CAR AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR A MONTH, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CRANKSHAFT HAD PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE NOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, AND DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. *TR
