I have a love hate relationship with my car, in proper working order, i totally love it. But now I am pissed beyond pissed. My damn car is only 3 years old, Im still making car payments. Anyways on my way to visit the family for Thanksgiving, and all of a sudden my engine goes out on me. Trapped on the damn grapevine, thank god for AAA. I went to the damn justaskcars.com and the expert there tells me that it is going to cost me like $5000 to fix it. Sh*t I owe more on the damn thing than that. I cant believe it I only have 52,186 miles on the damn thing and I have to replace the damn engine already. I dont even have any warranty on the car. I am so screwed. If im lucky maybe i can find a used engine. but whats the chance in that happening. I will never buy a Dodge again. I should have stuck with my damn Toyota corolla I drove the the hell out of that car, it has over 102,000 miles on it, and my sister has only had to do a tuneup. can you friggin believe it, better yet it is a 1998. I am so damn pissed. I wish we could boycott dodge.

Poor mileage, too expensive for the quality, constant small problems that add up to big bucks

At 36,500 miles, had to replace tire rod end at $900. Chrysler refused to cover it under warranty even though it was only 500 miles over the limit. They suck at customer service......
Now at 58,000 miles, possibly major engine problems...The dealer, Classic Chrysler in Raynham, MA is just as bad saying there is nothing that they can do.
Never again!

i took my dodge stratus to the dealer on the 12th January 2008 to change the oil at the dealer in stone mountain off highway 78....and they called me and told me that the sensor was bad and then they replaced...so i picked my car up later that following day....and then i following morning i went back out to start the car...it could not start...i then called the dealership again to report the problem and they came and had it towed......and called me back later that following day and said that the engine is Dead.... and it will cost me $6000.00 to replace the engine.The car is sitting in the garage still paying a note on it and cannot be used..I had the car for four years and it never gave me a problem ..until that day i took it to the dodge dealer off highway 78 in stone mountain Georgia......and they refuse to take responsibility for it....i am left with no car...and still paying a note....i am very dissatisfied and no one is offering no help because they are saying the car is out of warranty..
