Experiencing continued malfuntion of headgasket. Called dealer several times and sent certified letter...never received any response. Currently adding 2-3 quarts of oil per week so as not to damage engine. Have had service employee say he's seen several of them...but no recall has been confirmed. Taken to several area mechanics and were told absolutely should not happen in a car less than 3 years old. Not received any response/advice/proposed solution other than "repair will cost you at least $1,000). Have had other Stratus owners say encountering same..."if you push...they will fix" have tried....no response. Will try again to contact Chrysler direct. Can you help.

Transmission: Auto was parked, but would not go into reverse. Auto would have to be stopped and restatred to procedd a few hundred feet. Called for tow. Cyl. Head: Auto leaked oil, went to dealer. Dealer said it was cyl. Head, but I never saw the problem. Tie rods: Noise in front end. Tie rods were ready to fall off. Still a noise; maybe stabilizer bars or ball joint. I have owned many vehicles, but this was my first Chrysler product--- and the last! numerous other problems, but dealer did respond.
