I have a 1996 Dodge Neon that keeps blowing fuel pump fuses when shifting to 3rd gear. It is an electrical short that I found in same vehicle made few months sooner July through November car in 1995 through 1996 I feel this is still happening my car is at risk to catch fire. Would greatly appreciate if this could be resolve and checked out. Thank you.
This problem has been continuous. The problem I am having with my 1996 Dodge Neon has also been identified within this same year and model car and a recall was issued, however my car did not come from the same plant as the recalled Neons. This does not change the fact that the same problem has been identified in the same product!! the Dodge dealership said they would not honor the recall for my Neon. Is there anything I can do about this?.
