1995 PLYMOUTH NEON Complaints

ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY FAILURE, THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE SEEN THIS VERY SAME CLOUDING AND DETERIATING OF THIS PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENS COVER ON MANY OTHER CHRYSLER CARS, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO DENY EVEY HEARING ABOUT IT. THEY WERE HOWEVER QUICK TO QUOTE ME A PRICE OF $ 257.00 PER SIDE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY DOES NOT HAPPEN. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO START CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALER, AND SAID ENGINE HEAD GASKET BLEWOUT. *AK

MY NEON BACKFIRES AND LOSES POWER THEN STALLS, DOES IT DRIVING AT 55 OR AT 10. WAIT 30 MINS AND IT WILL START AFTER BACKFIRING SEVERAL TIMES. OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR 12 DAYS AND IT DID NOT STALL SO THEY SAID IT WAS FINE , ALSO PUT THROUGH DIAGNOSITCS AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY ALSO CAME TO ROADSIDE WITH DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING WHILE IT WAS STALLED. HOWEVER IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. A FRIEND HAS SUGGESTED OXYGEN SENSOR. IF THIS IS IT , WHY DIDN'T CHRYSLER MECHANICS FIND THE PROBLEM?? I SPENT OVER $300 AND SEVERAL STALLED ON THE ROAD HOURS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOS A PROBLEM YET, THE CAR WOULD NOT RUN?? PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT , IF ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIND OPUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH MY 1995 NEON. THANK YOU

ENGINE HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING ONTO GROUND. MANUFACTURER IS ONLY WILLING TO REIMBURSE 50% OF REPAIR COST. THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY'RE OFFERING.*AK SINCE THE CAUSE OF HEAD GASKET FAILURE IS PRIMARILY DUE TO POOR DESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER, IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBLITY OF THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT IT OR PAY FOR REPAIR. *YH

SMALL DIME SIZED AREA OF PAINT PEELED OFF ROOF OF CAR WHEN I WAS HAND WASHING CAR. PRIMER STILL INTACT. THEN WHEN I DROVE CAR IN THE RAIN AND WASHED AGAIN AT A LATER DATE. PAINT CONTINUES TO PEEL AND AREA OF PAINT MISSING IS SOFTBALL SIZED AND GROWING. NO RUST ON CAR. DEALERSHIP SAID TO TAKE CAR TO AN AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP TO GET IT REPAINTED. I SUSPECT THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THE PAINT OR THE PROCESS OF PAINTING THIS CAR. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONE DIN SUMMARY. *AK

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED(W/ A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 1999; IN JUNE 0F 2000 IT STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN--DOESNT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. *AK

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING HOT AND SHAKING/VIBRATING. VEHICLE OVERHEATED, AND OIL WAS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD DUE TO A CRACKED HEAD GASKET. VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR. THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH WHICH MAY RESULT IN A FATALITY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. DEALERSHP HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE LOST POWER IN PASSING LANE. ENGINE RACES IN PARK. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER APROX 12 TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE PAID $1200 AND THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE PROBLEM IS FIXED. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.

I OWN A 1995 PLYMOUTH NEON,RECENTLY I NOTICED AN OIL LEAK,COME TO FIND OUT IN MY INVESTIGATION THAT MOST NEONS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FROM 1995 TO 1999.THE HEAD GASKET CAN FAIL AT JUST ABOUT ANY MILEAGE ,FROM 10'000 ON UP. THE CHRYSLER CORP. IS BEING AFFORDED THE LUXERY OF HANDLING THIS PROBLEM ON A CASE TO CASE BASIS, UNDER THERE SECRET WARRANTIES PROGRAM ,WHICH MEANS THAT A PERSON IGNORANT OF THIS EVIDENT PROBLEM WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY PAY MORE FOR REPAIRS THAN A PERSON WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM ,THIS IS A VERY UNFAIR WAY TO LET THIS PROBLEM BE HANDLED , I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM HEAD GASKET ,SO THAT ALL CONSUMERS CAN BE TREATED EQUALLY AND HONESTLY. WHY SHOULD GRANDMA HAVE TO PAY $250.00 TO REPAIR HER HEAD GASKET WHEN CURIOUS GEORGE ONLY HAS TO PAY $50.00 . THANK YOU. *AK
