| 1998 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | 1998 DODGE STRATUS 2.4L ENGINE AUTOMATIC 1. THE ENGINE IS SEVERLY LEAKING OIL. TWO MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND BOTH SAID IT NEEDS A NEW HEAD GASKET. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT. UPON RESEARCH, THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE GASKET TYPE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM! 2. TRUNK LATCH SEEMS TO HAVE A STICKING PROBLEM. THIS TOO SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *LA |
