There is a constant oil leak in engine head gasket.

Head gasket leaking oil on a car that is only 2 years old and has only 61,000 miles. My mechanic said the car is way to new with not enough miles to be having so many problems. Having to put 1-2 quarts of oil every 2-3 days. Not good for the engine and I am afraid that it may catch fire!.

Oil has been leaking from the head gasket or other gasket assembly and I have had to add one to two quarts of oil a week. The car is leaking oil constantly when not in use and the oil is visible around the engine block.

I have a 1999 Dodge Neon. I took it to my local Chrysler dealserhsip on 04/11/2001 because I noticed that there was an oil leak. They told me that the problem with my car was the head gasket. They said the cost of repairs would be around $700. Under their "goodwill policy" they said that they would cover half of the repairs. I refused. I have found numerous complaints as well as an abundance of information pertaining to the Dodge Neon head gasket failure. This is an issue that Chrysler must rectify. Their "goodwill policy" is nothing but a scam to cover their fautly workmanship.

When driving in heavy rain, or driving through several puddles, car begins to grind and becomes difficult to maneuver. It seems to lose power as well, as going up a hill is a struggle with the car in this condition. This has caused many near miss incidents with other vehicles. Dealership tried to stimulate the problem when I reported it (while still under warrantee) but were unable to recreate the problem or to resolve the problem. The second, less serious problem, safetywise, is the massive oil leak from the head. The car requires 1 to 2 quarts of oil at every gasoline fillup. This could conceivably, if went unchecked cause engine failure and loss of vehicle control.

Not long after cars are bought the mounts crack and alow the engine to move to much causing car to jerk around, this seems to me to be a design flaw.
