Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge stratus. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, she discovered that the vehicle was leaking gasoline and the fuel level indicator inaccurately stated that the fuel tank was only half full. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer and they advised her that they were unaware if the failure was caused by the fuel tank itself of the fill. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

My car is leaking gas, and the fuel neck has rusted. Apparently there is a national back order on this product and I am unable to get it until october 30th. When I asked the dealer what I should do about this problem he said there are many people waiting on this same part and that all I can do is wait for the part..meanwhile my car is leaking gas and unsafe for my children to ride in...if a part is via the dealership only it should be available for instances just like this! How am I supposed to get to work? How am I supposed to take my kids to day care? I don't think I'll ever buy another chrysler because of this horrible customer service! I guess if the car blew up because of the gas leak it'd be more of a concern!

Head gasket has busted. It's leaking fuel all over the exhaust. I took it to the dealer who said it could start a fire. He said it would cost about $800 to fix. It requires me to put a quart of oil in it weekly.

My headgasket has been leaking for a long time. I have tryed to get chrysler to pay for thier mistake. I replaced the gasket. The new one is a lot thicker then the old one.so, if they modified the new gasket, then something must be wrong with the original one. That's why all these car owners are having problems with a leaking gasket on their dodge stratuses and neons. This could be looked at as a safety and environmental hazard, because the leaking oil on the engine could catch on fire and the leaking oil on the ground can get into the environment. I paid for the head gasket when I bought the car, now I'm having to pay for it again. I feel. *ak (dot number: 0 tiresize: 0)

This car has been a major problem. Head gasket failed at approx 11,000 on my way to airport to pick up family on april 10, 1999. Couldn't get it in for service until april 14, 1999. Transmission clutch started catching or scraping on something shortly after head gasket was replaced, I was told when work was completed (replaced cables on 11/18/1999) that problem was manufacturer defect mileage was 18,373. Was again experiencing same problem with clutch on 2/29/2000. Upon speaking with service team, was told there was a bad bearing in the transmission and they would be replacing both the cables and transmission parts; I also asked for them to check the engine light , because it was coming on and had a strong smell of gasoline; vaccum system was replaced. On 3/24/2000 internal parts of transmission were replaced at 22,349 mi. On 06/05/2000 engine stalled and was difficult to restart, engine was running really rough, replaced mapping computer @25,008 mi. Came home from work on 8/23/2000 strong odor of gasoline. Opened hood and watched gas leaking all over exhaust manifold. Had it towed to dealership on 8/24/2000 w/ 29,539 mi. Replaced cracked fuel injectors and leaking hoses. The car is now in again because of yet the same transmission/clutch problem previously complained about. Think . . . I'm driving down I 95 with my family in my car. Transmission fails, big truck runs the car over . . . Does chrysler want that headache?
