SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK | 5/24/2004 - CORONA, CA
I TOOK MY STRATUS INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ITS FREE OIL CHANGE. WHILE DRIVING THERE MY "BRAKE" IDIOT LIGHT FLICKERED ON A FEW TIMES WHEN STOPPING. I ASKED THE DEALER TO LOOK INTO THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CAUSE WAS EXCESSIVE BRAKE WEAR. AT 26000 MILES ALL 4 PADS ARE SHOT AND BOTH FRONT ROTORS ARE WORN. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE OWNED OVER 8 CARS AND USUALLY GET ABOUT 60,000 MILES OR SO OUT OF A SET OF BRAKES. I CALLED MIDAS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE DONT A LOT OF BRAKE JOBS ON DODGE STRATUS VEHICLES IN MY AREA.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: ENGINE | 3/21/2004 - SEVEN MILE, OH
ENGINE FAILED AT 54,800 MILES ON MY 2002 DODGE STRATUS SE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A SLIGHT ENGINE KNOCK. CAR HAD NO PROBLEM STARTING. WE LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE (2.7L DOHC 24 VALVE V-6) AT NO COST TO ME THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WE AGREED AND 3 DAY'S LATER THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY WAS CANCELED AND WOULD NOT TELL ME WHY. I GAVE THEM ALL MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS. WHEN WE ARRIVED TO PICK UP OUR CAR, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US THAT THE CAR MAY NOT START BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SITTING THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. THAT'S BULL... HE THEN TOLD US THAT THE CAR HAD JUMPED TIME AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT IT BACK IN TIME FOR US AND SPLIT THE COST. WE AGREED YET AGAIN AND LEFT THE CAR THERE. HE THEN CALLED US AGAIN AND SAID THAT THE CAR DIDN'T JUMP TIME, BUT THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH ENGINE SLUDGE BUILT UP THAT IT WAS STARVING THE CAR FOR OIL. AND THAT'S WHY IT WONT START. BUT THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEM STARTING AND RUNNING BEFORE WE DROPPED IT OFF JUST A LITTLE ENGINE KNOCK AT IDLE. PLEASE HELP ME... THANK YOU.
