Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In september of 2003 my brother the orginal owner of the 1998 dodge stratus sold me the car. and then right after he died. he purchased the car 6 months before he died in march 03. when i received the car i took it to the shop to get an oil change and the transmiison fliud changed. when i did this the oil man told me that i had no oil or transmisson fluid to change it had all leaked out. the oil man told me to get to a machanic as soon as i could. i took the car to get it fixed and the amco transmisson place chaged over 1,000.00 dollars to have it repaired. i see that it was 3 recalls on this car and one had to do with the power train, automatic transmisson/level and linkage. i called dodge at the number provided and they told me that the warranty was up and that if i had aready paid to get these thing fixed it would not be refundable.the transmisson fliud had all leaked out that i had to almost redo the hold engine. i donot have the old parts but i do have the receipt of repairs done.
