IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN DODGE STRATUS AND DODGE NEON BASED ON ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET. I WOULD LIKE DODGE/CHRYSLER TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM, AS I WAS TOLD THEY ARE AWARE A PROBLEM EXISTS AND HAVE SINCE CHANGE THE STYLE OF GASKET USED.*AK |
