Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1996 dodge stratus and the head gasket leaks like crazy. i asked the dealer to take a look at this and they said it was a default in design from daimler chrysler. i asked if they could give me any information on a recall or how much it would cost to repair it. the dealer quoted me $2500!! unbelievable! especially if it is a defect from manufacturing and design. i need my "only" means of transportation fixed! recalls need to be done on this car for the head gasket leakage. *nm
