My car caught fire for no reason at all. ive heard of some other dodge, plymouth vehicles doing the same. dt
Dash lights were replaced 3 times. in addition, steering column smokes at speeds of 45 mph. also, seat heater burned a hole in driver's seat/burned...
Well lets see the first defect was a fan relay which was replaced 5 times before a wiring defect was found next we have "hard brakes" which contribuit...
My 2005 dodge neon does not want to crank. when it does crank and you accelerate then rpms increase rapidly and then fall back to about 1500 and the car starts acting like it wants to cut off. the engine light is now on and does not go off. when you come to a stop the car jumps forward quickly and then acts like it is going to cut off. not drivable, too dangerous. *tr
Through the life of owning this car. i have had to replace the head gasket several times 3 times in last 2 years alone and replace the engine. the head gasket still leaks and no one can seem to fix it even the dealer. i have talked to other people that have neons and they are experiencing the same exact head gasket problem. why hasn't there been a recall for this. this is an extremely costly repair. *tr
Head gasket blown. large oil/fuel leaks and/or contamination throughout engine compartment, including captured in motor-mount bay acting as a resevoir dam. *nm google alone demonstrates some 111,000 reported "neon head-gasket" items with a majority percentage sampled showing as problems with the head-gasket! please help! not only is this an expensive item ($450) to replace, but it is a critical safety issue!
I purchased a 1998 neon espresso in june of 2004. on about july 2004 my car died. i had it towed and had over $1,800 of engine work done. after work was done they stated my rear seal was leaking and wanted over $600 to repair this.
1998 dodge neon hs 2 door model has had an oil leak for approx. 6 months. took it to the shop today and was told it was a blown head gasket. shop owner told me of 4 other neons he has had to service for the same blown head gasket and that neon owners are lucky if their car hits 40,000 miles without this problem. i know 2 other people with neons and they have had this problem also. i was told this would cost me 550.00 to fix. it is in the process of being fixed right now, but i feel a recall needs to be done to solve this.
This car has used more than 10 quarts of oil since new (not counting changes). it has just over 20k miles now and still uses oil. it does not smoke or leak. the fuel mileage is nowhere near the advertised mileage. the dealer was contacted regarding no brake lights just after purchase. after two trips to the dealer (and the service writer telling us that we removed the cigarette lighter adapter wrong), they discovered the wiring harness for the backup lights was crushed by the shifter in reverse and shorted the lights. after complaining about poor starting and shuddering after a cold soak, the dealer replaced the injector o-rings, which solved the shudder, but not the mileage. nothing has helped the oil usage, not even the two trips to the dealer to replace a baffle in the valve cover and an "oil consumption" test, which we performed. yes, it uses oil. i should've bought my daughter a nissan, or, like i just bought myself, a brand new ford pickup. this was my first and last daimler-chrysler product...ever!
While driving average speed 40 mph, the head gasket ruptured, with a major leak. the owner was informed this by a mechanic. please provide details. ts
When starting vehicle cold. there is a loud internal knocking noise from engine. i am a professional auto mechanic, i suspect piston slap. in my opinion ,this condition is not normal as stated by the dealer and the factory. dt
While driving the vehicle engine stalled. dealer has been notified. please provide further information. mr
I bought my vehicle new with less than 50 miles on it. i haven't had any major problems with the vehicle until i reached 80,000 miles. at this time i noticed a qt. oil loss at my oil change (every 3000 miles). i called my father whom is a auto mechanic to see what the possibilities where. he advised me to inspect the drives side, after outboard portion on my engine where the head and block bolt together, for and oil leak. this is where my mothers 1996 neon is leaking oil from. and sure enough, this is the exact spot where my engine is leaking oil from. the dealership was notifed. i was told for $900.00 and some odd dollards my car could be repaired. dt
