1 Body problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2002

Consumer often finds water on floorboard whether it rains or not, and does not know where it is coming from. Dealer has a brand new automobile on the lot and it does the samething. Cannot find the cause.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/01/1997

Biggest concern at this point is the air and water leak. This has gone all the way up to the attorney general. Air leak is so loud I feel it is a safety concern. We cannot hear sirens or anything else but air for that matter. Alamo car company and Chrysler say it is not repairable and air and water leaks are common in Neons. We requested they buy our vehicle back for the numerous problems we've had with it, but they refused to. They offered us a 6 year/75,000 mile warranty. We had purchased an extended warranty when we purchased our vehicle, so this is useless. It is also useless because Chrysler states they cannot fix the problem, so how will the warranty help the air and water from leaking. I have all documentation on hand.
