Some good, some bad...some terrible

We have had some problems with our Stratus that really should not be a problem. For example anytime the car loses power to the battery (like if you have to change batteries)the brain loses its mind and the car will not stay running. The only way to fix it is to drive it around for an hour or so until it "relearns" all the information. That seems completely ridiculous to me but I contacted the mechanics at two different dealers and they both told me the same thing. The only way around it is to take it to a dealer and let them put in on a machine and charge you $75-$100 to correct it. Not just once, but ANYTIME you lose power from your battery. There are some other issues as well like the horrible headlight plastic that seems to get foggy within days of redoing it. It does get fairly good gas mileage and it does have quite a bit of power considering it is not turbo charged. All in all if given another chance we would buy something else.
