1998 Dodge Stratus 2.4L engine automatic 1. the engine is severly leaking oil. Two mechanics have looked at it and both said it needs a new head gasket. This car only has 76,000 miles on it. Upon research, this is a rampant problem. I have seen hundreds of complaints. They have changed the gasket type to fix this problem. This should be a recall item! 2. trunk latch seems to have a sticking problem. This too seems to be a very common problem.
