problem #3

Aug 142017

Neon SXT 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 147,757 miles

I changed the thermostat and the radiator cap. I have let it run with the cap off to get air out of it as suggested. Nothing works. It still runs hot! It circulates good and no leaks anywhere. The fan works too. I don't know what else to do to it to get it to stop running hot!

Neon SXT 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 782 miles

The lower radiator hose clamp fell off and the hose separated from the radiator. This happened during lunch time at work. Car of course overheated quickly and a local Dodge dealer sent out a tow truck to bring in the car.
