Major oil leak. I took the car to two mechnics, who told me the head gasket needed replaced. I spoke to the local dealer and was told that the car was out of warranty, and that the job would cost over $700. I later found out that this is a comon problem and the replacement part is not the same as the original because of some defect. Chrysler still does not acknowlege a problem?

I get oil changes regularly so that the car will last, then the last oil change I get, a month later oil starts leaking severely out from under the care. Two estimated later and the head gasket needs to be replaced. Not only has that gone up but the front brakes and rotors have already been replaced at 40,000 miles. I am always replacing something on this car and it is not even 3 years old. Will these cars ever last the full loan?

I have a serious problem hearing that all Neons (informed by dealer-coyle Dodge in new albany, in) have a very common problem with the main gasket in the engine. I had a big misfortune in having my 96 Neon's main gasket failed and spewed out a lot of oil and almost had myself in a serious smoke problem that I smelled the oil burning on the exhaust system near the engine and could lead to a fire!
