Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a stratus from a used car dealer, which i understand buyer beware. just resently i had the tensioner bar bolt break off as i was driving the car, which could of cause a great deal of damage but i got lucky. plus, i take the freeway to work each day, what if that would have snap off in the middle of traffic? my car completely shut off, immediately. luckly, i was on a side street and had towed to a mechanic, i took it to the place that replaced my head gasket (another complaint) and they fixed it but also told me that dodge had made a complete new piece for it and had to get the full kit. which that costed me six hundred and fifty for that. i do have the old tensioner parts but i dont have the old head gasket parts.*ak
