Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY NEON USED, SUPPOSEDLY BY A DEALERS WIFE. I REALLY DID NOT HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST MARCH, WHEN MY ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL. MY HEAD GASKET WAS REPLACED AND STILL UNDER MY FACTORY WARRANTY. WELL LAST MONTH, MY ENGINE WAS PROFUSELY LEAKING OIL WHEN MY CAR WAS IDLING. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE CAM SEAL AS LEAKING. I BELIEVE THIS WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY REPLACED LAST YEAR WITH THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT I PUT ABOUT 6,500 MILES PER YEAR ON MY CAR, NONE OF WHICH ARE HIGHWAY AND I MAINTENANCE MY CAR REGULARLY. *AK
