Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1998 dodge stratus 2.4l engine automatic 1. the engine is severly leaking oil. two mechanics have looked at it and both said it needs a new head gasket. this car only has 76,000 miles on it. upon research, this is a rampant problem. i have seen hundreds of complaints. they have changed the gasket type to fix this problem. this should be a recall item! 2. trunk latch seems to have a sticking problem. this too seems to be a very common problem. *la
