NHTSA Complaint #726206 — 1995 DODGE NEON

IN MAY OF 1995 I PURCHASED A NEW NEON SPORT COUP, ON OCTOBER OF 1998 MY HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING OIL. I ASKED THEM IF THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO A CAR AS NEW AS MINE AND THEY TOLD ME NO. CHRYSLER AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE COST FOR A NEW HEAD GASKET ON MY CAR. I ALSO ASKED IF I WOULD BE BACK IN ANOTHER 2 YEARS TO REPLACE THE NEW HEAD GASKET THAT THEY HAD REPLACED AND THEY SYATED "NO". I AM NOW BACK A YEA AND A HALF LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN AND THEY AGREEED TO PAY HALF AGAIN. NOW IT IS 3 WEEKS AFTER I HAVE HAD MY HEAD GASKET REPLACED AND I NOW HAVE OIL COMING OUT OF MY RADIATOR AND THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG SO THEY ARE KEEPING MY CAR OVER THE WEEKEND TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT. I ALSO HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN FOR A BAD CIG. LITER, WEATHER STRIPING ON MY LEFT DOOR,LOOSE WINDOW (TWICE AND IT IS STILL NOT RIGHT), AND OTHER PROBLEMS. I FEEL LIKE I AM STCK WITH A LEMON. I HAVE ALREADY PUT OUT OVER $3,000 IN REPARES ON THIS CAR. *AK
