My car overheated about two weeks prior. Took it in to a mechanic but they couldn't identify a problem so they thought it was low on coolant. Then, my car overheated again, started idling rough, and proceeded to pour smoke out back. You could smell the coolant burning. I understand this is a problem on all Neons pre-99, yet Chrysler and Dodge refuse to recall the cars.

The air conditioning failed at 33000 miles and should not have, the head gasket is still hanging in there but is leaking a little each day, no excuse, cooling fans never ran after you shut the car off, sometimes one will run and sometimes both will run. They will at times shut down and leave me enough battery to start the car or it may not. The car is not running hot, less than half way on the gage. The car is maintained with coolant flushed and changed yearly. Help wirh this piece of junk. Plymouth should replace head gaskets, A/C units on every one made at there expense.

Car overheated once/ blew the head gasket and cracked the engine block. This was the first time that the car overheated. A representative from chysler said they had 4000 of the head gaskets currently on back order and they had change manufactorers. I feel that 4000 parts on back order at any given time is alot and may be indicative of a problem.
