Stratus V6
- Automatic transmission

My doors keep falling apart. The clips brake off and then I have to hold the door to shut it. It is very bad on the drivers door and bad on the front passengers door. I had it fixed professionally last year. since then I find myself fixing it myself over and over again.

Stratus LX V6
I own a 2002 Dodge Stratus. WOW, this car is awesome in every way, fast, comfortable, sleek! Then you have the rear passenger door and rocker panel! This is another story! For the age of this car, there is no reason why this area should be literally falling apart! Trying to find this part is difficult because every Stratus I see has the same rusted area, bubbling paint and crappy craftsmenship! The same door is like this on EVERY Stratus I have seen! I have made it a point to inspect every Stratus to see if this is a possible defect in the steel and then primer and paint! The damage is so bad it completely distracts from the beauty of my Stratus!
I bougt Dodge vehicles all throughout college and loved my Omnis, Carvans etc. They were all great cras that held up very well. This defect is very much a disappointment!
