I have 2001 Dodge Stratus that has a electrical problems. Took it to 1 dealer said that it was the battery change the battery and $179 later still have the same problem dash board light are not working the battery light and seat belt light stay on. You can not tell the speed or see how much gas you have. Try to go to dealer his shop closed for good. When to another dealer said it was a closter and after $800 still have same problem. Took it back to have him fix it right they decline to fix it. What do I do? this is my daughter car and it is a danger to drive.
