ENGINE HEAD GASKET BLEWOUT. VEHICLE HAD 34000 MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

HAD THE HEAD GASKET MOD SHORTLY AFTER PURCHACEING 2 DODGE NEONS. BOTH ARE STILL LEAKING OIL.*AK

WHEN BLINKERS ARE ON HEADLIGHTS WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT, CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SHEARD OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE SIDEWALL, THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL TIRES REPLACED(GOODYEAR EAGLE GA TIRES, SIZE 185 65R14, THE TIRES HAVE 40270K MILES ON THEM)*NLM

ON JULY 20TH, 2001 MY HUSBAND WENT TO BUCKLE MY SONS CARSEAT IN AND THE SEATBELT PULLED OUT OF THE SEAT, ALL THREE SEATBELTS PULLED OUT OF THE SEAT VERY EASILY, WE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT AND SAID IT WAS AN INSURANCE PROBLEM- I HAVE ARGUED THAT THE SEATBELTS WERE NEVER BOLTED TO THE FRAME BUT MY REQUESTS HAVE ALL BEEN REFUSED. *AK

ENGINE HEAD GASKET FAILED WITH LESS THAT 60,000 MILES, HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT WHICH CAME FROM DODGE, WAS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE AND STYLE OF HEAD GASKET, GIVING THE APPEARANCE THAT DODGE KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL TYPE GASKET

OIL HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM THE HEAD GASKET OR OTHER GASKET ASSEMBLY AND I HAVE HAD TO ADD ONE TO TWO QUARTS OF OIL A WEEK. THE CAR IS LEAKING OIL CONSTANTLY WHEN NOT IN USE AND THE OIL IS VISIBLE AROUND THE ENGINE BLOCK.*AK

AFTER THE BLOWOUT, I SAFELY PULLED OVER, INSPECTED THE TIRE AND ALL I SAW WAS TORN UP SIDEWALLS LOOKING DOWN TO THE CENTER OF THE RIM. THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY GONE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE. A CHP OFFICER STOPPED TRAFFIC 1/4 MILE BEHIND ME TO REMOVE THE SINGLE LARGE REMNANT FROM THE ROADWAY.*AK (TIRESIZE: 185 65R14)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 185 65R14 )

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE NEON. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALSERHSIP ON 04/11/2001 BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WAS THE HEAD GASKET. THEY SAID THE COST OF REPAIRS WOULD BE AROUND $700. UNDER THEIR "GOODWILL POLICY" THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD COVER HALF OF THE REPAIRS. I REFUSED. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS AN ABUNDANCE OF INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE DODGE NEON HEAD GASKET FAILURE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER MUST RECTIFY. THEIR "GOODWILL POLICY" IS NOTHING BUT A SCAM TO COVER THEIR FAUTLY WORKMANSHIP.*AK

HEAD GASKET HAS PREMATURLEY BLOWN OUT AT 66,000 MILES. DEALERS WERE AWARE OF DEFECT.*AK
