I was driving 55 mph when my car went to 0 in less than 3 seconds was not able to restart vehicle. Had it towed to patriot in killeen tx the couldnt troubleshoot so they sent the car to Dodge country. Where it has been sitting since 8/21/00 I want this to be investigated I have extended warranty on the vehicle but all the problems it has they are saying it doesnt cover all. I've searched the internet and found out that there was a recall on this vehicle. Not sure if the work was done on my Neon prior to purchasing it. And would like to know any information and background on this vehicle I'm very disattisfied with the Neon and I'm sorry I have one. I will never own another Neon!!

Car stalls while driving at any speed not at any set time or distance. Fuel filter, fuel pump, and computer module replaced and was sent to the Dodge dealer for repairs and two weeks of testing. This problem happens at any fuel level from full to an eighth of a tank and the same gas station was used for all cars I own so the bad gas theory is not the problem.
