What happens if my Dodge Stratus spark plugs fail?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What should I do if I see leaks under my Stratus?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Dodge Stratus. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

Are some driving habits better for my Dodge Stratus engine than others?

Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.

Tune Into Your Dodge Stratus

Is it tune-up time? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you drive a 2005 Dodge Stratus. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Stratus. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you take your car for regular engine tune-ups as recommended by Dodge, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Stratus’s engine running smoother, longer.

Dodge Stratus Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Dodge Stratus engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Stratus: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best.
