Consumer Description

AT 53000 I NOTICED OIL LEAKING. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HEAD GASKET. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAS WORKED ON SEVERAL NEONS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID THE FORMER NEON OWNERS TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT FIXED FOR $200 - $250, AS OPPOSED TO A MORE HEFTY CHARGE. I'M NOT SURE HOW A HEAD GASKET CAN MALFUNCTION ON A CAR WITH ONLY 53000 MILES......SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS STORY. ALSO, MY REAR BREAK SHOES (LINING) SUDDENLY GAVE OUT...ONLY TWO MONTHS AFTER REPLACING THEM. *AK
