problem #1

Jan 302008

Neon 4-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 118,000 miles
The contact owns a 2000 Plymouth Neon. While turning a corner at 5 mph, the contact heard a scraping noise. Both of the front tires spread apart as if they were separating from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that both ball joints and the cable failed. The cradle, lower ball joints, and the front passenger side drivetrain needed to be replaced. NHTSA campaign id number 99V114000 (suspension: Front: Control arm: Lower arm) was referenced. The current and failure mileages were 118,000.
