Consumer Description

FIRST OF ALL, MY CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL FOR QUITE A FEW MONTHS NOW ...I JUST KEPT PUTTING A QUART IN EVERY NOW AND THEN. WELL, WHEN I WENT TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED AT PEP BOYS, THEY SAID THAT MY HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING. THEY RECOMMENDED ME GETTING AN ESTIMATE AND THE WORK DONE AT AN AUTHORIZED DODGE DEALER. I WANT TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION OR FROM DODGE ON THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS THAT DODGE NEONS HAVE. I DIDN'T KNOW THIS UNTIL VERY RECENTLY. I HAVE NO REPAIR DATE OR COST YET. I WAS HOPING TO GET INFORMATION BEFORE I GET AN APPOINTMENT/FIXED. CAN'T THIS BE A RECALL? IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR NEONS WHY DOESN'T DODGE FIX THEM? I AM PAYING A CAR LOAN ON THIS AND IT NEEDS FIXED ALREADY...AND IT IS A MAJOR FIX.
