| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a 2000 dodge stratus until today. today, march 27th, 2005, my stratus had a hydraulic line for the power steering rupture and caused my entire engine compartment to catch fire. prior to the fire, i had observed power steering fluid on the line fitting and the leak fluid dropped onto the exhaust pipe below. i bought the replacement hose. however, the car caught fire before i got a chance to replace leaky power steering hose. i was wondering if this was something that had a recall, or what i might do to research this more and find out if somehow this is a defect, because i know someone that had the same issue, but caught it in time and had it repaired. thank you for your time and reading this e-mail. |
