| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently bought a stratus from a used car dealer and i know buyer beware. any how, i was told by the dealership that they got it from a dodge dealership and they said it had a head gasket leak. the dealership that i got it from said they looked it over and it wasn't a head gasket, but an oil pan leak. anyhow, i bought it(hook-line and sinker). went to get an inspection and was told that it was a head gasket leak. took it to a couple others and they said it was that. so, i told the company i bought it from and got 300.00 back . then proceeded to take it to a dodge dealership(gladstone dodge) here in town. they said that it was a head gasket leak, but also said it was many other thing to the tune of 2000.00, i didn't have the money for that so i took it to another dealership that just found a head gasket leak and a few other minor things and fixed it all for a 1000.00. what i dont understand with all these problems with the head gasket is why they haven't been recalled? unfortunates, i don't have the old parts to this but wish i did. *ak |
