1999 Dodge Stratus Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Stratus is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Stratus's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Dodge Stratus transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Dodge. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Dodge Stratus transmission fluid leak? Yes. Dodge Stratus transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
