1 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2003

Noticed oil in radiator fluid. Took the car to the local dealer and was told the head gaskets were cracked. Repaired at a cost of $1500. I was told by the dealer they would not cover any of the cost. The vehicle only had 53,000 miles on it. I need any info on how to recoup my money from the dealer or manufacturer.

2 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2003

Had car repaired for a cracked head gasket and cracked radiator. I asked the dealership wasn't there a recall on cracked gaskets I was told for the 98 Dodge Neon. Got new brake pads. They squeal loud and it takes a lot for car to come to a complete stop. Had to get a new thermostat on my car because it kept running hot. If they replaced my radiator in Jan 2003 why is my thermostat out. Also the check engine light came on and had to have the fuel inductor replaced along with a few other things.
