I took my car in to get the oil changed, and the guy told me that I was leaking transmission fluid from the cooler hoses. When I got home I looked it up on the internet and found that there was a recall for this problem, NHTSA campaign id#01V011002. So this morning I called the local Dodge dealer(llithia) and asked him about the problem. He told me that there was no such recall, and that it would cost around $150 to fix. I took it to a different mechanic, and they put some hose clamps on it for $64, but I think that is a temporary solution. I am disgusted by lithia Dodge calling me a liar, and not wanting to fix the problem.

Dodge Stratus engine die out due to crankshaft position sensor that came in contact w/ a protective shield, which consequently caused a grouted circuit. Thereby causing my engine to die out. My vehicle is a lease, and the warranty is up, and I never received any recall information. Recall info on this call, and the prior year are numerous deadly one. Those which can possibly cause injury, or death. I was almost a statistic today when my vehicle died out completely in an exit ramp off the highway. Please help me find out how responsible the dealership is because I never received any!!!! recall letters. I received their bill, but yet no recall info. This vehicle is only three years old. I have prior to this vehicle purchased three other vehicles from yonkers avenue Dodge, and have traded them in for new ones, but they too had problems, and the dealer never gave me any breaks in price. They just saw a female walk in, and read the "sucker" sign on my forehead. Anyhow my car is now stuck in a shell gas station, which was consequently off the ramp I was stuck on. I was pushed there to get me out of harms way. I will not allow this dealer to continue to stick people, or Chrysler to stick people with the bill to a car that dies out before the lease is up!! if you can help please email me. As well as let other Dodge Stratus SE owners know that the numerous problems these cars suffer from before these owners get killed, or kill others. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The consumer received a recall notice for transaxle oil cooler hoses, however it took five different appointments for dealer to remedy the problem, in which the first three occasion consumer was informed there were no parts, the next time consumer was informed they only had half of the parts, and the final occasion is when it was finally fixed.
