Stratus 4-cyl

  • miles
I have had ongoing problems with this vehicle in the one year I have owned it. Ive spoken to the dealership and they refused to assist. I most recently had as bazzar experience the day I went to the dealership to get my house key. My key was in the ignition as I was removing key, I fet a mild shock traveling through my arm then into my watch which maintained a vibration for a log time and eventually causing it to never work again this was an odd occurence becouse I was noticing other starange thing in the vehicle.such as my odometer suddenly accumulating mialeage at a unbelivable rate prior to my scheduled repair appointment at the dealership, (for an oil leak) that ended up being a blown head gasket(that incedently was not under warrenty) becouse of the milage. ) first they claimed I was 200 miles over then someone said 14 but was finaly recorded as 7 to portfolio (my extende warranty provider.) please keep in mind that I informed the service writter of the odometer occurence and of a buzzing sound I heard in the steering wheel and other electrical experiences. All of which were just brushed off. Furthermore, please note that my vehicle was under the warranty mialege when I made the appoitment and I was never told that it had to be under the mialegae when it arrived. (actually I do believe I was under the mileage when I arrived) so I ended up paying out of my own pocket approx $400 dollars. Only to have my air bags deploy suddenly for no apparent reason. Which I feel caused me to hit the center island of a busy street, sudden facing on comming traffic. I was able to manouvere the car over another curb to a safe area. Now moss br Dodge in san bernardino reuses to except responsiblity even after I had coplaid about the strange bussing sounf that could be heard in the steering wheel months before this happended. Now im struggling to repair my car. Please if you know of any attorney or recorse I can take please inform me. Sincerely [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (
