Failure Date: 09/19/2001

Oil leaking at head gasket at 43,000 mi (3yr 36k warranty) wanted a second opinion as I could not believe it. Mechanic who looked at it then wasn't sure but kept an eye on it. Just brought it to a new mechanic now have 60,000 miles on it. New mechanic says he has seen this problem multiple times in this model and the neon. We bought this car brand new. Upon delivery it had a dent which had to be repaired on my time, we had a/c repaired twice, power train control module replaced(kept stalling while driving),and visor broke, all during first 6 months. Now this. Chrysler says there are no recalls or extended warranty for this. I plan to keep fighting this one.
