Engine leaks oil from bad head gasket at rear of engine - could cause fire - manufacture knows of this problem, has updated headgasket design, but will only fix it at owners expense...I'm leaking a quart of oil between 3,000 mile oil changes.
Engine cylinder head oil galley plug does not seal properly, and the engine cylinder head is not retained. Please give any further details.
Had oil changed and was told the head gasket was leaking. Car was checked several times since new for a odor in car. All that was done at the dealer ,is they sprayed deodorizer for the smell. Might be the origin of the odor. Small amount of oil leaking onto the exhaust. Head gasket problems seems to be the thing on a stratus.
I was on the highway going home when all of a sudden my car gave a loud bang and smoke started coming out of the hood. The car had stalled and I got to the side of the road. Flames where shooting out of the engine compartment. I was told by the mechanic who finally looked at the car that one of the cylinders had gone through the side wall and caused the fire. I have since learned that there was a recall on the engine. To be more precise the galley plug, I would like to find out if anyone had serviced my car on the recall. If they haden't then maybe that is what cause the problem, I really would like to know.
