3 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2005 Dodge Neon

Failure Date: 12/28/2007

My 2005 Dodge Neon does not want to crank. When it does crank and you accelerate then rpms increase rapidly and then fall back to about 1500 and the car starts acting like it wants to cut off. The engine light is now on and does not go off. When you come to a stop the car jumps forward quickly and then acts like it is going to cut off. Not drivable, too dangerous.

Thenthen when the wiring issue was presented for left turn signal popping on and off at will,and the whole car just shutting down while driving on the highway. Steering whell locking up and no control over the functions at all then car would not start. I kept taking it in and addressing to crysler that the main engine fuse by the firewall was blowing and was told that it was highly unusual for that to happen and upon initial inspection they found the wiring harness warded from the heat of the fuse blowing and replaced fuse and sent me on my way for it only to happen 3 more times!at this point they double fused the lines and now the chk engine light stays on and it is impossible to register my car now with that light on and because of that it failed smog!! now iam stuck with financing on a car that has tremendeous trouble that everyone claims doesnt exist. Please help!!!.
