ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I TOOK MY STRATUS TO A FRIEND MECHANIC FOR WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE A SIMPLE OIL LEAK, HE ADVISED IT WAS THE HEAD GASKET. ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE NEONS AND STRATUS. SHOULD CHRYSLER PAY FOR THIS REPAIR IF IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? I DO THINK SO.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE. THE FRONT END AND STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN UNDER HARD BRAKING. I LIVE IN A MOUNTAIN AREA THAT REQUIRES ACCURATE HANDLING/BRAKING, ETC. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE AND IS BEING IGNORED BY THE DEALER AND NOW THE MANUFACTURER. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM EXIST IN A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND HAS BEEN UNDETECTED/MIS-DIAGNOSED OR OTHERWISE NON-REPAIRED. I WELCOME YOUR EXPERT OPINION AND WILL MAKE THE VEHICLE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR INSPECTION.
