TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE STRATUS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL, WOULD NOT STOP, AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CRASH THE VEHICLE INTO A POLE TO GET IT TO STOP. THE CONTACT THEN QUICKLY TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WEEKLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (50 MAIN ST, BUTLER, OH 44822, (419) 883-2461). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEEDED SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO START THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD SEND A TECHNICIAN TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FOUR WEEKS AND WERE STILL WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO SEND A TECHNICIAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN NHTSA RECALL WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED USED WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES. THE CRASH OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,900.

OIL LEAKED FROM UNDER MY CAR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY OIL FILTER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULT THRUST BEARING BEING WORN AFTER ONLY 47,900 MILES ON MY DODGE STRATUS 2006 WITH A 2.4L ENGINE. I HAD IT REPAIRED COSTING JUST UNDER $1,300 AND THE OIL SEAL WENT AGAIN IN ONLY ONE WEEK. *TR
PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE 2007 STILL UNDER WARRANTY THINKING I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS SINCE ANY REPAIRS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME REPAIRS. THE FIRST IS THE BRAKES, THEY SQUEAK AND RUB. THEY HAVE SCRUBBED THEM 3 DIFFERENT TIME AND IT STILL IS HAPPENING. (THEY ARE COLLECTING MO…

PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE 2007 STILL UNDER WARRANTY THINKING I WOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS SINCE ANY REPAIRS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME REPAIRS. THE FIRST IS THE BRAKES, THEY SQUEAK AND RUB. THEY HAVE SCRUBBED THEM 3 DIFFERENT TIME AND IT STILL IS HAPPENING. (THEY ARE COLLECTING MOISTURE TO CAUSE RUST) THE SECOND IS A BUMP STOP WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS COMMON IN DODGE/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING MORE WITH IT SINCE WHEN THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE THE CODES COME BACK WITH NO PROBLEMS. THEY HAD REPLACED SOME OF THE PARTS BACK A FEW MONTHS AGO. THIS REPAIR CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF BUMP STOPS BUT DID NOT STOP THEM. THERE IS A CREAKING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. THEY HAVE GREASED THE STRUTS AND REPLACED A CARRIED ARM. THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. THE LIGHTS DIM AFTER 17-30 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. EVERYONE BUT THE MECHANICS SEEMS TO SEE THIS ONE HAPPENING. DEALER ALSO SOLD THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT DISCLOSING IT HAD BEEN IN A PRIOR ACCIDENT! *TR
