NHTSA Complaint #10450642 — 2004 DODGE STRATUS

CAR IS MAKING CRUNCHING SOUNDS IN REAR. BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON ROUTE 38, LUMBERTON NJ 08060 AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE REAR SUSPENSION/STRUTS ETC AND WOULD COST $1100.00 TO FIX. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME CAR, SAME YEAR AND HERS BROKE LAST YEAR. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE PARTS THAT WERE PUT ONTO CAR DURING ASSEMBLY LINE WERE LIKE PLASTIC AND THEY CRUMBLE AND CAUSE THE WHOLE REAR TO FALL, CAUSE ACCIDENTS, CAUSE TIRES TO FLY OFF THE CAR AND DEATHS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. MY MOM IS VERY ANGRY. SHE PAID FOR BOTH CARS AND WONT BUY ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR AGAIN UNLESS THEY RECALL THIS ISSUE. SHE CALLED DODGE HEADQUARTERS 800 NUMBER AND SPOKE TO [XXX] AND HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
