Stratus ES 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 109,000 miles

I OWN A 2001 DODGE STRATUS ES. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 109,000 MILES AND NEEDS A NEW ENGINE COSTING $5000,00. INITIALLY THE HEATER CEASED TO WORK. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CAR RAN HOT WITHOUT WARNING AND NOW THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE COSTING MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. IS THERE A REMEDY? THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNERS. WHAT A TRAGEDY!!! THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AUTOMATICALLY KNEW THE TYPE OF ENGINE I HAVE, TELLS ME THE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT.

I will never buy a dodge again I bought it in McKinney TX where there were good owners and service people, since then they have changed and it was pathetic. Never called and informed me it would take longer than promised. The paper had promise date different than told. I got my car back and said that water pump leaking into engine and valve problems. Ok I paid when I checked under the hood just because I am a female does not make me ignorant. I know what my car looked like and now I said that there were two caps missing and he told me to bring it back to see if he had them. Then made me wait a good 15 min and brings another dodge showing that it had none. Why would on the phone he said he knew what I was talking about and kind of humiliated me by saying some have them and some don't well Hello I would just make that up? How would I know some did and some didn't? I know and it mad me really pissy that I had to pay 90.00 for diagnostic and then 2142.60 to have it fixed and not like it was. NEVER BUY A DODGE FROM THEM
