Stratus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,000 miles
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Stratus. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle experienced engine failure at the head of the engine. The contact pulled off the road and the vehicle was towed. He discovered that the machine head was constructed incorrectly, which prevented oil from reaching the cylinder. The head was replaced under warranty. The contact had to pay a $100 deductible and was told that the expenses would be taken up with the Chrysler dealer. The current and failure mileages were 31,000.
