Steve, thanks for the answer.  I just bought my 02 Dodge Stratus R/T from a car lot and was having the same problem.  I'm glad it was nothing serious like I thought it was at first.  Your answer helped me out on saving quite a bit of money!



Thanks again!

John

We had this same problem on my 2002 Stratus. It came down to a pack on the coolant lines sitting on the top of the engine that was loose and leaking my coolant out. It was causing the car not to warm/cool properly.

Replacing the pack helped completely.
