problem #2

Dec 032007

Stratus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 112,000 miles
Car was leaking power steering fluid so we kept on adding more until we could save enough money to get the problem fixed(around $350, no small fee for a working family!)then, the smoking got worse until one day it just caught on fire! I couldn't put it out with an extinguisher, the fire department had to put it out and now the car is totaled! can we still get a recall?
