Consumer Description

MY 2006 DODGE STRATUS REAR STRUT MOUNT PLATES ARE DISINTEGRATED. HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A YEAR AND I TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION AND THE GARAGE SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY I HADN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TIE ROD WAS FALLING APART. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 CHILDREN AND I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER BEING TOLD BY THE GARAGE ABOUT THIS I DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR STRUT MOUNTS FALLING APART AND LITERALLY CRUMBLING. YET I CAN NOT FIND IT ON A RECALL LIST. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE IS PURSUED BY THE SAFETY COMMISSION SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I ONLY HAD THE MONEY TO FIX THE TIE ROD. NOW SOME HOW SOON I HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY FOR THE STRUT MOUNT PLATES, NEED TO BE REPLACED SO I CAN DRIVE THIS CAR SAFELY WITH MY 2 CHILDREN. *TR
