Good, economical car
Shewinked, 02/14/2004
1995 Dodge Stratus 4dr Sedan
Bought this car with 50K miles on it.
I've had to replace the oxygen sensor 3
times (engine light stays on), and the
electical system goes out where the
radio, heat/ac and lights don't work.
If I stop and turn the car off and then
back on, it's restored. Otherwise, it's
been a great car. It was cheap and
great in-between car. It looks great,
people always think it's … newer than it
actually is.

Great Car - No Problems

1995 Dodge Stratus 4dr Sedan
We have put over 127,000 miles on this
dependable car in over 8 years of fun
driving. It is the base model so
there are not many features on it, but
it is still fun to drive. We have not
put any money into it except for the
usual (brakes, tires). It is been
used by our teenagers for the last two
years and even with them driving it,
it has held up well.
Just … yesterday someone who was driving
a 2002 Stratus asked us if our 1995
Stratus was a 1999 model. It is still
lokking good. I just hope it makes it
through my teenage kids.

jinxed?

1995 Dodge Stratus ES 4dr Sedan
I've had nothing but problems since
purchase. Luckily I got an extended
warranty, which Chrysler has lost A LOT
of money on. The powertrain control
module was replaced twice, and took six
trips to the dealership to be completed
properly. Keyless entry unit has not
worked since just after purchase.
Apparently the computer will not
respond. The body control module was …
just replaced last month (NOT under
warranty) and transmission soleniod
replaced this week. I would enjoy the
car if not for the almost monthly trips
to the mechanic(milage is 80k-not
100's) Wish could recommend a Stratus
to other buyers, but would be VERY wary
at this point.

Think before you buy...

1995 Dodge Stratus 4dr Sedan
This car has had its share of time in
the shop. I have replaced the head
gasket twice and am working on a third
time, and this time someone else can pay
for it. I have found no easy fixes to
this car as every little thing is part
of a bigger package. You can't buy
little parts as they are all part of a
bigger part that can't be broken down.
This vehicle leaks oil constantly.
