WHEN THE DRIVER REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THE ROTORS WARPED. *AK *SCC *NLM

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE CONSUMER MADE A QUICK STOP AND THE CONSUMER HIT THE REAR END OF THE OTHERS PERSON VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CONSUMER. *AK *CB

THE TIMING CHAIN AND VALVES WERE BROKEN ON A 2001 PLYMOUTH NEON WITH 45000 MILES ON IT. THE PLYMOUTH DEALER STATES THIS DAMAGE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO THIS CAR THIS YOUNG. THE CAR ONLY HAD .09 AT PURCHASE (1 OWNER CAR). *NLM

THE STARTER ON MY 2001 PLYMOUTH NEON NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I EVEN OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS. I DID NOT BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MY 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BY 6000 MILES. I HAD A REMOTE CAR STARTER INSTALLED BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REMOTE STARTER MORE THAN LIKELY DID NOT CAUSE THE STARTER TO FAIL. A BRAND NEW, OR 2 YEAR OLD CAR'S STARTER SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED SO SOON. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET REIMBURSED FOR MY REPAIR AND BRAND NEW STARTER'S COST OF $405.00 BY EITHER THE DEALER OF THE VEHICLE OR THE MANUFACTURER OR INSTALLER OF THE REMOTE CAR STARTER? *JB

WHEN COMING TO OR WAITING AT 4 WAY STOPS TO TURN LEFT THE CAR CHOKES AND DIES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I'AM YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE DIAGNOSTIC AT THE DEALERS CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. PLUS THEY CHARGE ME 50 DOLLERS FOR DIAGNOSTIC HOOKUP FEES SINCE THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THIS APPARENTLY IS COMMON PRACTICE AMONG MANY DEALERSHIPS AND IS REFFERED TO AS DOUBLE DIPPING SINCE THE MANUFACTURER PAYS THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME I BRING THE CAR IN. THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTERER ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CAR HOWEVER AFTER FIGHTING ON THE PHONE WITH THEM FOR WEEKS I HAVE A SUSPISION THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAY ON AND OFF AND THE DOOR CHIMES CONSTANTLY RINGS INTERMITTENLY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS, RESULTING IN AN IMPACT IN REVERSE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATED PROBLEM. BOTH DEALERSHIP AND INSURANCE COMPANY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE.*AK CONSUMER STATES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START.*JB
