This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 1998 Dodge Stratus. The contact stated that the gear shifted from park without the key in the ignition. The contact also stated that the key became stuck in the ignition. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 04V02100 (power train), however, the vehicle was not affected at the time and no repairs were done. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Complaint regarding the waiting time consumer had to endure when having recall repairs performed on 1998 Dodge Stratus. The malfunction indicator lamp had come on. The transmission would not shift. The 02 sensor failed. The 02 sensor was replaced and reset and may have been the cause for the transmission problem. Recall campaign #04V021000.
Dealership gave me statement that recall item was fixed on 10-22-1999 and they did nothing. The problem still exists. I can manuver the shift lever from park position with the key out of the ignition. They did not replace the shifter assembly and interlock cable as stated in the recall notice I receiverd from Chrysler. I called the dealer and was told to bring it back in. So I trust them to do this correctly?
