2001 Dodge Stratus Oil Pressure Light by mattyj1168
Dec 12, 2006 (8:47 pm)
Reply
I have a 2001 Stratus ES (2.7L) with 82,000 miles. I am religious about changing the oil every 3,000 miles. I have had the car for a year and a half with no problems at all. Just put new tires on the car this past Saturday. Sunday I put the tires to the test through a bunch of winding and hilly roads. Now when stopping, the oil pressure light comes on. It goes off when rpms come up. Oil level is fine and clean. I have read posts about possible oil switches. Car still runs fine but am planning a trip this weekend and would like to avoid getting stuck away from home. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Door Hinge gone bad? by miamisteve

Three out of my four doors on my 1998 Stratus makes a loud cracking/popping noise when door opens and closes. Is it a bad hinge? I tightened all doors but the problem still persists.
Anyone have same problem and maybe a solution?

3rd Stratus: I, too, have had MANY fuel injector problems with my 04 Stratus sxt. As of August of 2006, according to the dealer and dodge corporate, there were not any recalls for this issue... but if you find something out about such a recall, please let me know! I finally had to get rid of the car because these fuel injector issues were 'not under warranty' and I couldn't afford to keep putting money into this car plus its high car payment,

Engine wont start - lights on other electrical not by xekushion

Hi All,
 
I have a 1998 Dodge Stratus and last night as I was to take my leave from work, I go to get into my car and upon turning the key into the ignition, the engine didn't turn over. Now I've had this problem before where I would have to crank for a few moments before the car would start. However last night the engine didn't turn on -- I cranked one more time and the engine revved only to shut off just about 1 second later.
 
When the engine shut off, it took my cd player, the buttons for heat and a/c, turning signals, windshield wipers, and locks out with it... However my interior lights, my headlights, and my windows still work fine.
 
I consulted a garage, and they told me it's probably a faulty battery (but i would assume nothing electrical would work then..) but I've seen elsewhere it could be anything from an ignition switch, to the starter/cellenoid to the distributor. Anybody else have this exact problem?
 
Any advice is appreciated! It's cold and the walk to work sucks, and with snow in the forecast I would like my car back..
 
Thanks,
Gary

Service Engine Soon Light On by tulsahog

Pulled 2001 Stratus into garage a week ago, all ok. Today, started engine and "service engine soon" light came on and stayed on. Engine idle did seem a bit rougher. Turned off engine. When restarted, light still on, but idled smooth. Drove around block, ran fine. Removed and reinstalled gas cap, light still on.
 
Car has only 22,000 miles on it. Original owner. Any ideas other than take to dealer and check codes?
 
Thanks,

Ignition fuse 20 amp keeps blowing by garzo1
Jan 25, 2007 (6:07 pm)

Go to start my car last week and when I turn the key there is no dash lights no radio. Turn the key all the way over any there is nothing .
After trying to boost the car and much searching I find the 20 amp ignition fuse blown in the engine fuse box.
A couple days later the same thing. Put 4 new fuses in an 4 times the fuse blows. I get the car towed to my mechanic
and he finds nothing wrong after 2 days of restarting the car over and over again. Not once did the fuse blow for him. A few days later the same thing the fuse blow so I install another fuse but the car wont start. I leave the
car along for the day the next morning it starts no problem.
Any help would be great. My patience are run very short.
