Consumer Description

OUR 2004 DODGE STRATUS ENGINE SEIZED UP COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME WITH OUR CHILDREN. THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 2.7L V6 ENGINE WHICH ONLY NOW HAVE WE BECOME AWARE OF THE LONG HISTORY OF THIS CATASTROPHIC TYPE OF FAILURE. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE TAKEN METICULOUS CARE WITH MAINTENANCE AS NOTED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT OUR DEALERSHIP. NONE THE LESS, NOW I AM EXPECTED TO SPEND $6,700 TO REPLACE A MOTOR THAT WAS CLEARLY DEFECTED IN DESIGN. *TR
