Consumer Description

NOTICED OIL STAIN ON GARAGE FLOOR AND TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC WHO PUT IT ON A LIFT AND DETERMINED VISUALLY THAT THERE EXISTS AN OIL LEAK AT HEAD GASKET. ADVISED ME TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. HIS COMPUTER SEARCH INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 1998 NEONS AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED 10/30/2000. I CALLED DEALER AND ARRANGED FOR APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY 01/22/2001 AND HOPE THIS WILL BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. INFORMING YOU FOR THE RECORD OF EXISTING PROBLEM.
