problem #2

Jan 182004

Stratus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles
The contact owns a 1999 Dodge Stratus. The aftermarket floormats rise underneath the brake pedal and catch onto the steering column. While driving between 2-5 mph, the steering wheel locked due to the floormat and the contact could not turn the wheel. The vehicle crashed into his other parked vehicle. The front bumper was damaged. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer. The contact feels that the vehicle should have a hook installed to prevent the floormat from moving. He did not have any product information regarding the floormats. The failure mileage was 100,000 and current mileage was 160,000. Updated 03-04-08

Stratus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 83,000 miles
I have had my Dodge Stratus ES for approximately 3 years and the back safety shoulder harness has quit working now 2 times. The first time I had it fixed under warranty and this last time the dealership refused to repair it without it costing a small fortune. I think there should there should be some kind of automatic repair of safety parts, such as, seat belts, etc without a small fortune having to be paid.
