On August 27, 1997, vehicle was in for yearly inspection when dealership noticed oil leak. Supposedly head gasket needed repair and this job was done. Vehicle needed relay repair in on March 23, 1999 and $150 of unauthorized diagnostics was performed. No problem was found. In August 1999, vehicle began with oil leak again. Car was parked until February 2000 when private repair man diagnosed head gasket leak and valve cover gasket leak. Chrysler was once again notified. Information provided to us states that this is an ongoing problem with 1995 Neons and we've all ready sunk too much money into this car for multiple repairs. Car is presently parked again!!

This vehicle only has 34,000 miles on it! the first service station I took it to would not work on it because I was told that (95) Neons are known to have this kind of problem. No one was hurt and no accident occured but I could have easily seized the engine with children in the car on the highway.

Neon

  • miles
The car stalls intermittently while being driven. Sometimes it will restart, other times it will not. We have contacted a dealer, several mechanics and Dodge/Chrysler themselves. No one can determine the cause of the problem and we were told by Chrysler to keep driving till it happens again. Since this has happened while driving 55mph on a major highway, we are, needless to say, currently not driving the vehicle for safety reasons.
