We are upset because the head gasket should not be a regular problem. We were told that all the garages do all day long is replace head gaskets. My brother-in-law buys cars at auctions and he told us that dealer will not even buy Neons because they are noted for the head gasket going out. We were also told that there may be a recall on this. I am wanting info about this problem with your vehicle.
Engine head gasket failed with less that 60,000 miles, head gasket replacement which came from Dodge, was entirely different type and style of head gasket, giving the appearance that Dodge knew there was a problem with the original type gasket.
I have a 1999 Dodge Neon. I took it to my local Chrysler dealserhsip on 04/11/2001 because I noticed that there was an oil leak. They told me that the problem with my car was the head gasket. They said the cost of repairs would be around $700. Under their "goodwill policy" they said that they would cover half of the repairs. I refused. I have found numerous complaints as well as an abundance of information pertaining to the Dodge Neon head gasket failure. This is an issue that Chrysler must rectify. Their "goodwill policy" is nothing but a scam to cover their fautly workmanship.
