Recall on brake fluid tube clip/tube and head gasket repairs were not completed in a timely manner.

- Staten Isl, NY, USA

I had the head gasket go out on my Neon within one year of owning it. I know have the head gasket leaking again, and I'm told that I have not driven over 35,000 miles since the first replacemen.T I should call and complain. When I did I find out from a Chrysler dealership here in Kansas City that they have seen alot of Neon's come in for this problem. I refuse to put out this kind of money on a car that I'm still paying on, especially when this was replaced a short time ago. I feel Neon's are a piece of junk!! I have nothing good to say about Dodge, and I hope I can discourage anyone from buying one. I also found out that this should be a recalled part because of the high demand of replacements. I work very hard to make my monthly payments so that should tell you that I do not have spare change sitting around for expensive repairs. I found out from my mechanic that it will cost about $150 in parts and $685 dollars in labor to have this fixed. I called and complained to Chrysler, and they gave me a file number of 5515266. I now have to take my car to another place, and wait for the dealership to come back and tell me exactly what my mechanic told me today in order to get help. I was so mad that I was visibly shaken while on the phone to Chrysler. I hope that there are people out there that are in my situation, and together we can tell the world to stay away from Dodge Neons!!!!!
