What owners wrote
The ignition interlock on my 2004 dodge stratus is inoperative. At least twice, the key was removed after the engine was shut off by while the car was in drive. The car then began to roll away. The second time this happened, the car ran into an obstruction and suffered 25 thousand dollars in damage.
Dt: while driving the vehicle lost power. Caller saaid that she had to get the vehicle jumped that same day that failure happened. On the way to the dealer the dashboard lights did flicker before the vehicle stalled. Independent mechanic said battery was under the fender, and it could not keep the cables on. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet. Caller did run up on a curb.
