A clanking noise started coming from the front of the vehicle. Right front side collapsed onto the ground. Vehicle was unable to move, and it was towed to the dealer. Mechanic determined that the steering knuckle sheared off and needed to be replaced.
I purchased a 2004 dodge stratus on 4/13/04. On 5/22/04 I brought the vehicle to a service center for the first oil change. Upon placing the vehicle on the rack , they discovered that there was widespread severe corrosion to the undercarriage of the vehicle, including tie rods, the exhaust system, etc.. They advised me that they felt that, left uncorrected, the situation presented a safety hazard. *ak I have jpeg images of some of the affected areas that can be sent by e-mail. From what I can see, the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
