#311 of 425 Getting Hot by suzana321 Aug 09, 2006 (12:12 pm)
I have a 2001 Dodge stratus se or es coupe, and recently had the head gasket and water pump changed due to overheating. When I turn the car off and put the key in the on position, (you know just to listen to the radio or put the windows up, the engine is not on) the thermostat gauge goes up past half way (about half an inch past half way), the dealership told me that was normal, but I just wanted to make sure, so if anyone knows if it is or isn't let me know so i dont have to pay for another head gasket!!!!!

Replying to: sad04stratus (Jul 09, 2006 6:52 am) My 1st Stratus was a 97' 4Cyl. Trans. went at 96K. I replaced it with a 01' Stratus Coupe. At 65K I had the same fuel injector issues. I replaced the broken one and about a month later, it did it again. I took it to the dealer and gave them another chance. I bought an 04' R/T Coupe (why, I guess I just like danger). I'm now at 44K and guess what, Friday the same crap appeared in this car which is in perfect condition. I'm taking it to the Dealer in the morning and most likely trading it for something that's not a Dodge. I love my car, but this is ridiculous. So my advice, dump it before it explodes on you and you become a statistic.

#313 of 425 Not so many problems by gatorray Aug 15, 2006 (3:58 pm)
I have a '97 Stratus. I have always ran 5w-30 mobile 1. I have changed my transmission fluid twice as a precaution. The wife drove it 3 years in Germany on the 'Baun and it survived 4 years in Alaska in -40 degree winters. The only thing I have ever replaced was the tires, roters and pads. I also had my fuel system cleaned as a precaution. I currently have 70K on it. The wife drove it about 65K of the 70K. I think having a single driver really cuts down on the problems. I also think I have been lucky. I contiplated buying another Stratus but after reading these reviews, there is no way. I think i'm gonna go with a Passat or a Hyundai Azera.

I'm getting a code p0740 meaning something in the transmission, how easy is this to fix, they said something electrical in the tranny, anyone have any ideas on this as I can't afford alot of money. any help would be appreciated.
#315 of 425 98 Stratus hard starting by bajaranger Sep 02, 2006 (10:38 am)
My stratus recently started taking a long time to start. when it does the car smells like gas. I changed plugs, wires and an o2 sensor but still have the problem. after the car starts it runs really rough for a few seconds then runs fine. any suggestions? I hope wheelman reads this he seems to be knowledgeable

Replying to: 3rdstratus (Aug 13, 2006 6:39 pm) Not long after I had to pay $700 to get this fixed again, I took it and traded it in... I barely made it to the dealer, it was idling rough (still) and smelled like hot and burning something. I couldnt afford to keep putting money into it. There is obviously a problem with this issue and this car. I was super sad to see it go...

Replying to: bajaranger (Sep 02, 2006 10:52 am) I changed my air filter not long ago and I don't have that musty smell anymore for either my air conditioner or my heat. Try that out and see what happens
#319 of 425 The infamous creaking sound by sigmaman Sep 09, 2006 (4:50 pm)
For a long time my 04 Dodge Sratus has had that creaking sound. But you only hear it when the brake is engaged and you are turning either left or right. Today I had my rotor replaced and I made sure my calipers were safely tight and now I don't hear that creaking sound anymore. I guess my calipers weren't tight enough...hell I don't know.
