The 2000 Dodge Stratus has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the right front brake line, where a poorly welded bracket can fatigue and crack the brake tube, causing a partial loss of braking ability.
The fuel system also has a concern: the fuel tank mounting straps were built without a protective paint coating, which means they can corrode over time, loosen, and potentially allow the tank to shift or drop. There is also a compliance issue with the child door lock labels, where incorrect instructions printed on certain vehicles may leave owners unsure whether the rear child locks are engaged or not.
