NHTSA Complaint #756253 — 1997 PLYMOUTH NEON

I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DAIMLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON ANY OF THE PARTS THAT HAVE GONE BAD ON MY CAR, BUT I READ THE INFORMAITON ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THE NHTSA SITE. THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE WRONG WITH MY CAR AS WITH THE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLED PARTS, IE BAD TRANSMISSION, HEAD GASKET, AND ELECTRICAL. I HAVE SPENT 2,200 DOLLARS FIXING THIS CAR IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS, AND NOW THERE IS A ROD KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT OTHER NEONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE RECALLED PARTS, BUT MINE DOES NOT. IF THE PARTS DO NOT NEED RECALLED, THEN WHY DID THEY ALL SELF DESTRUCT? I THANK GOD THAT I WAS NOT STRANDED WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. I CAN'T DRIVE MY SON IN MY CAR NOW BECAUSE THE ROD MAY COME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND STRAND US. ALSO, I HAVE TO DRIVE 15 MILES TO SCHOOL FOUR DAYS A WEEK, AND DON'T HAVE A RELIABLE CAR, ANYMORE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING STUCK ALONGSIDE THE ROAD IN TEN DEGREE WEATHER. PLEASE CONTACT ME CONCERNING THE QUESTIONNAIRE THAT I FILLED OUT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY TIME THAT COULD BE SPENT EXPLAINING MY CURRENT SITUATION/OPTIONS TO ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.*AK
