Not enough info.
we need to know what the symptoms are. All of a sudden, or flakey for awhile etc? Is the car doing anything else? Check engine lights? Speedo working OK?
Could be almost anything. First thing I would check is fuses and vacuum hoses. Also check the linkage from the Cruise control system to the throttle, could be something as easy as a broken cable or linkage. Could just be a dirty linkage needing cleaning and a lube.
Other than my general recommendations I know nothing about a Stratus so can't help much more than this.
Good Luck,
Jim Henderson

Check alldata.com for any recall or SB info first. This can often point to the problem before you start a hands on detailed diagnostic...If you dont have a sevice manual I would get one. Unless you really need the cruise I would just forget it and save the money and time.

It still works sometimes, it is tempermental. Now a new problem, the climate fan control doesn't work. It is constantly on at a speed slower than "1" even in the off position. I will also not change where the air comes out of.

Just a WAG, here. . . .
Are you confusing the "Cruise Control" for the "Climate Control"???
If not. . . you've got me totally confused.
ETA: Just saw "Now a new problem. . ."
What the heck. I'm still confused.

OK, sorry my posts have been a little short. First the Cruise Control started flaking out, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Then the Climate Control fan took a crap. Since my last post the fan doesn't work at all now. It's Florida and it's almost summer. Help!
