Seven problems related to blown head gasket have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving home on an interstate from work when there was a pop from beneath the hood and the car began to run rough and the check engine light came on. I continued to drive home and took the vehicle to the mechanic in the morning and was told that the head gasket had blown and would cost approximately $700 to repair. I was also told that it was uncommon for a head gasket to fail at 68,000 miles and that all the engine's fluids would need to be changed. I had the vehicle repaired and have noticed that now it consumes around 1 quart of oil between oil changes(3,000 mi).
While driving vehicle started to overheat then smoke. Dealer determined headgasket had blown.
