Top 44 Complaints and Reviews about Dodge Stratus

If by in or out you mean make the beam pattern move closer or farther away from the vehicle, then yes you can. There are adjustment screws (usually 2) on each headlamp assembly. One raises and lowers the headlamp. This will move the beam closer to (down) or further from (up) the vehicle. The other will adjust the beam from left to right. The screw at the top (or bottom) is for the vertical and the screw on the side is for horizontal. The easiest way to adjust the headlamps correctly is to, at night, go to a location where you can park about 50 feet away from a blank wall. Turn on the low beam headlamps. In order to "properly" adjust the lamps, the left side headlamp's main beam should cast is "ring" on the wall at about the centerline of the car (left-to-right adjustment), with the bottom of the beam just reaching the ground (vertical adjustment). The right side headlamp should be adjusted to shine along the right edge of the vehicle (where the white edge line would be) at the 50 foot mark (left-to-right) and the height should be the same as the left headlamp - beam just touching the ground. Many people make the mistake of pointing them straight down the road. This causes "overspray" into the oncoming lanes and blinds oncoming motorists. I'm sure you've experienced the annoyance of someone coming toward you with their lights right in your eyes. That is caused by misadjustment. If you get the low means right, the high beams will work well for approximately 200-300 feet down the road, which, unless you are night racing, is more than enough distance to see well to drive.

salesman and shop mechanic blah bl;ah to sell a vehicle try this simple test when stopped apply the hand brake start the engine and if it stays running , put your foot on the brake if it stops but restarts when you take your foot of the brake to start it , the the problem is more than likely a failing brake booster also to check for other problems take it to a service center or autozone and have the fault codes read

Good luck with that ! Without using a smoke machine it is near impossible ! Do you know what all is involved in a evaporative emission system ?

If that is a three wire sensor then it is probably being subjected to excess heat and that causes them to fail.

Are the injectors being controlled on / off ? Does your stratus have a anti-theft system ? A security light of some kind lit on the instrument cluster !

If the thermostat sticks in the open position, it doesn’t keep the liquid in the engine long enough, so you have trouble getting your car warmed up. If the thermostat sticks in the closed position, the liquid isn’t allowed to get to the radiator, and overheating results.

Because replacing the thermostat is quite simple and thermostats are quite inexpensive, you may want to try this task before you take more drastic measures. Just be sure that you do this when your engine is completely cooled.

1Locate your thermostat if you haven’t already done so.
Most thermostats are located where the top radiator hose joins the engine, so these steps deal with this type. If your thermostat is in the bottom radiator hose, the principle is the same.

2Place a bucket under where you're going to be working.
Some fluid will escape, so have a clean two-gallon container handy to catch it, and return the fluid to the radiator when you finish the job.

3Remove the clamp.
Follow you radiator hose to where your thermostat is located.

4Pull off the hose.
This is when some fluid will escape and drain into your bucket.

5Remove the bolts that hold the thermostat housing in place and lift out the old thermostat.
Compare the new thermostat and its gasket with the old ones. If the new thermostat and the gasket that’s included with it aren’t exactly like the old ones, go back to the store for the right ones.

6Lay the new gasket in place.
There’s a gasket around the hole where the thermostat was located — take that off, too. Scrape off any pieces of gasket that may be stuck, but be sure not to let these pieces fall into the hole!
7Drop in and secure the new thermostat.
Make sure to place the spring-side down; then replace the bolts.

8Replace the hose and hose clamp.
If your hose clamp uses screws, screw it down tightly but not tight enough to cut into the hose.

9Replace whatever fluid ran out of the hose by pouring it from the container into the radiator fill hole or coolant reservoir.
Be sure not to pour it on the ground where children and animals can be endangered by it. If you accidentally spill fluid, wipe it up thoroughly before hosing down the area, and then place the rags in a sealed plastic bag before disposing of them.
