I purchased a '01 Stratus R/T from an auto auction earlier this year and up until the snow began to fall, I loved this car. Compared to my Mountaineer, the MPG is amazing.
I am having a couple issues, though.


The map lights on the rear view mirror work very seldom- but they have turned on once or twice in 6 months.


My traction control doesn't seem to engage- I managed to do a 180 and slam into a curb at a mind boggling 10mph. It also doesn't kick in when the wheels are trying to find traction from a stop.


It seems that the previous owner was really fond of the owners manual, because I can not find it.
