Eh, various other cars have batteries in bad places. Wheel wells, under the back seat, in the trunk, etc. At least one can change the headlights in the Stratus without tearing the whole front bumper off......

Every car has launch control: A Proper Driver.

When I mentioned the PCV was likely the cause of your oil burning and you essentially said “IDK, it burned oil”?

Given most mechanics will tell you you can run Dexron in a Chrysler A604 trans, I tend to take mechanic’s words on Chrysler products with a grain of salt at best. Come to think of it, maybe the mechanic was the issue.........

Causalities of war for safer roads....... 

Your lack of answering the question tells me you’re trying to hide your lack of proper maintenance so you don’t get called out on the car failing being your fault......

They are really great cars all around.

1. Generally people who bought 2.7L powered vehicles were not in good places financially, so they were not in a place to maintain them.

We owned a few Stratus sedans. The battery isn’t any harder than changing a headlight on a lot of newer vehicles. Remove driver’s side wheel, remove inner fender, replace battery, reinstall inner fender and wheel.

I’m sure that could be fixed as well, although once you’re talking structural rot, it’s a dangerous game.

What you really need is one of these:

It’s a minivan, it counts.

Considering the torque curve will not happen without boost, stating it will require boost to cart 4500+lbs of vehicle around is a fact.

90s Mopars. Nothing outside regular maintenance (key being actually doing regular maintenance).

I’ve driven all the modern minivans with exception to the Sedona.

How about the time my car helped me save my life?:

Get better tires, problem solved.

You only “think” you require AWD.

CUVs are minivans, only less useful.

can’t drive the minivan out onto the sand dunes or take the kids out on two track.
