Head gasket failure, when called the manufacturer they stated that I will only need to pay a deductable and that chrysler will pick up the rest of the bill. Is seems to be an on-going issue with dodge stratus'. If the manufacturere readily agrees to handle the situation maybe they are utilizing the secert warranty or the adjustable warranty. Went on line and noticed this is a wide spread problem with dodge stratus'.
On 31/1/01 there was a headgasket leak and under the warranty it was replaced. On 11/6/01 I was travelling at about 15 MPH when I noticed my temperature gauge had passed the "h" the mark. I immediately pulled over and put my car into neutral and turned the heater on maximum. The engine temperature went down about 1/3 of the way from the top but went back up when I tried to drive. I had my car then towed to prevent any further engine damage.
Engine stalls intermittently while traveling at any speed. Dealership has been unable to determine cause for this problem. Please provide any additional information / attachments.

No summary
Vehicle stalls at low speed of 40 MPH & up to high speed of 70 MPH. Also, stalls while turning and coming to a stop position. Been in/out of dealer shop on three occasions, and problem is reoccurring.
Vehicle is unsafe to drive and cannot be driven in a normal manner. Note: this is car has a manual transmission. All throttle (gas pedal) movement, acceleration or deceleration is followed by a < second application of full power or full deceleration, followed by the reverse application of full deceleration or full power, respectively, until the computer figures out what to do. At no load, e.g. Cruising at 65 MPH, especially on a slight slope, the computer never figures out what to do. The whole system goes into oscillation, with < second alternate applications of full power then full deceleration, then full deceleration, for as long as a constant throttle position is maintained. In all cases, the engine winds up on its rubber motor mounts with a thump that can be felt throughout the car. This is so severe that the shop supervisor at the dealer was going to try replacing the motor mounts.
Dealer/chrysler confirm safety and pollution problem on all similar cars, but have no fix, refused to fix at this time.
