What I am doing is trying to get help; my vehicle is badly leaking oil, the recall is for galley plugs, but the dealer in phoenix says it is the head gasket and not covered by the recall, approximately. $900 to fix. The dealership said to me on the phone, "at that mileage it won't be the galley plugs, it'L be the head gasket, that's what it always is with those Stratus'"(emphasis mine). What I am trying to understand is that if it is a common of enough problem for the dealership to say that, as well as a head gasket to be shot at such a low mileage, why isn't this just as much as a recall as the galley plugs, allowing me and I'm sure many others to be helped. Can somebody please answer this request, I called the Chrysler factory about this and they could have cared less.
There is a burning smell after driving on interstate. Reported to dealer twice. Dealer stated that there were two wires too close to each other which caused the covering of one to burn. Dealer moved wires. Burning smell continues.
Wiring harness burned out/replaced. In addition, engine crank sensor failed, causing vehicle to stall/distributor cap and rotor malfunctioned, causing stalling.
