1996 DODGE STRATUS Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 DODGE STRATUS. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE MOTOR WAS NOT MOUNTED DOWN AND WAS MISSING TWO SCREWS. THE MOTOR JERKS BACK AND FORTH SO SEVERELY THAT IT SEEMS AS IF THE ENGINE WILL FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE TIMING CHAIN, FUEL PUMP, IGNITION COIL, SERPENTINE BELT, AND MUFFLER ARE FAILING. NEW BRAKES AND STRUTS ARE ALSO NEEDED. THE CONTACT DID NOT DISCOVER THESE ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. TWO DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAVE A 1996 DODGE STRATUS AND THE HEAD GASKET LEAKS LIKE CRAZY. I ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFAULT IN DESIGN FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. I ASKED IF THEY COULD GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON A RECALL OR HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR IT. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $2500!! UNBELIEVABLE! ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN. I NEED MY "ONLY" MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FIXED! RECALLS NEED TO BE DONE ON THIS CAR FOR THE HEAD GASKET LEAKAGE. *NM

ONE OF THE OIL GALLEY PLUGS ON THE 2.4L ENGINE OF OUR DAUGHTER'S 1996 DODGE STRATUS CAME OUT, AND THE CAR SPEWED MOST OF ITS OIL OUT INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL (#671) ON THESE BACK IN 1995 AS SEVERAL FIRES OCCURRED. OUR VIN FELL WITHIN THE RANGE OF VINS AFFECTED, BUT WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE RECALL ENDED WITH CARS MANUFACTURED OCT. 13, 1995 AND OUR CAR (WE WERE TOLD) WAS MANUFACTURED OCT. 14TH. THE FIX AS OF THAT DATE WAS A CHANGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD MACHINING AND THE PLUG THICKNESS. OBVIOUSLY, EITHER OUR ENGINE IS ONE FROM BEFORE THE CHANGE WAS FULLY IMPLEMENTED, OR THE CHANGE WAS NOT A CURE ALL, AS THE PLUG ON OURS CAME OUT. THEIR SOLUTION FOR AFFECTED ENGINES WAS A BRACKET THAT BOLTS ON TO RETAIN THE PLUGS, BUT NO ONE AT THE...

I OWN A 96 DODGE STRATUS, I PURCHASED IT YEAR OF 97. I RECEIVED NUMEROUS RECALLS ON THIS VECHICLE SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASED. I FOLLOWED UP ON EACH RECALL THAT I RECEIVED. AS TIME WENT ON I HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. OVER THE YEARS I AWAYS BELIEVE IN CHRYSLER PRODUCTS TO BE SAFE AND SOUND.I FEEL THAT IT'S BEEN TRULY UNFAIR TOO LOYAL CONSUMERS SUCH AS MYSELF MANY OTHERS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A COMPANY SUCH AS CHRYSLER AND ENGINEERS WOULD ENGINEERED A PRODUCT LIKE THE DODGE STRATUS WITH SO MANY DEFECTS. ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5, 2005 I WENT TO PAY A BILL ABOUT FIVE TO TEN MILES AWAY FROM HOME. RETURN HOME, PARK THE CAR, LOCK THE DOORS WENT INTO MY APARTMENT. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER A NEIGHBORHOOD BOY KNOCK ON MY DOOR AND SAID YOUR GOLD CAR IS ON FIRE. I RAN OUTSIDE TO SEE,...

HEAD GASKET LEAKING AT 58,000 MILES. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE SEEN OVER 100 POSTS ONLINE ABOUT OTHER THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *JB

ON 12/18/1997 I PURCHASED A 1996 DODGE STRATUS AT A BUY HERE PAY HERE LOT THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I WAS BACKING OUT OF A SLOPED DRIVEWAY. I FELT A BUMP AND KEPT DRIVING. BEFORE I COULD REACH THE END OF THE STREET MY OIL LAMP CAME ON. I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION CHECK THE OIL AND DISCOVERED I NEEDED OIL. I PUT OIL IN THE CAR AND GOT ON THE INTERSTATE. MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED PULLING. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE OIL PAN HAD A HOLE IN IT AND MOST LIKELY GOT IT DURING THE BUMP. I HAD TO GET A NEW MOTOR FOR THE CAR WHICH A $500 DEDUCTIBLE HAD TO BE PAID BY ME AND THE OTHER $3600 WAS PAID BY ALLSTATE(MY INSURANCE COMPANY). LAST YEAR...

MY MECHANIC STATED THAT MY ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL FROM PRETTY MUCH EVERYWERE, I HAVE TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVERY 4 - 5 DAYS.

I CAN'T AFFORD THE ENGINE REPAIRS FOR THE OIL. I HAVE TO GET THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FIXED. CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS.*AK

WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE DRIVER NOTICED OIL ON THE GROUND. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE GASKETS, SEALS, ETC., NEED REPLACING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *NM

CURRENTLY OWN A 1996 DODGE STRATUS 4 CYLINDER, AND IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I AM UNABLE TO USE IT, AS THE HEAD GASKET BLEW OUT OF IT, AND WILL COST OVER $1500 DO REPLACE(AND SO I HEAR EVEN IF YOU DO REPLACE IT, THE HEAD GASKET WILL BLOW AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER DUE TO THE IMPROPER DESIGN OF THE ENGINE)..THIS IS SO WELL KNOWN A PROBLEM, AND I AM DISGUSTED TO THINK THAT WITH OUR FAMILY BEING LIFETIME DODGE/CHRYSLER PEOPLE, THE COMPANY WOULD IGNORE SAFETY AND ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE IN LATER MODELS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET SOME HELP HERE!!!! I AM A POOR MOM OF TWO CHILDREN, ONE DISABLED, AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS MAKNG A GOOD PURCHASE WITH THE STRATUS. I CURRENTLY CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED, AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET MY DISABLED CHILD TO THE DOCTOR...
