Consumer Description

FROM ALL THE PEOPLE I'VE READ ABOUT HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR DODGE STRATUS. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE HAD THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED IN 1998 AND NOW IT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE ENGINE SMELLS LIKE IT COULD START ON FIRE FROM ALL THE OIL THIS CAR LEAKS. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL HELP US. THANKS DT
