My fiancee bought a 97 Dodge Neon from a friend at 35,000 miles. Now at 70,xxx the vehicle started to leak oil, I was putting in 3 quarts a week, the car runs very rough and the check engine light is on andi cant afford to tow it to a shop to find the problem (maybe cause ive spent all my money on oil due to the head gasket leaking?) I am in the middle of repairing my self just takeing a break from the chaos and my back hurts. Many Neon have this problem the manufacturers redesigned a new head gasket, is this thier way of saying " hey we at Dodge messed up bad and now you and thousands of other people can pay $600. 00 -$1,000 to get it fixed" another bullitin from car quest say the oil leaks due to the cam sensor cover ile find out shortly I assume and if thats the case why arent any of these other mechanics catching that or do the know and just say it is the head gasket for more money from you? and I guess there was property damage my parents nice new drive has Dodge dirty oil stains all over it, thanks Dodge !! -- @$#holes!!.

Brought car in for repair of severe oil leak at engine rear. Dodge dealer advises that it was a leaking head gasket (blown head gasket) on 1998 Neon with approximately 46,463 miles on the odometer. Could not reach Chrysler customer service at 1-800-922-1997 (stays busy); dealer refused to warrant work even though cause of problem was apparently a design/latent defect in the aluminum head. Vehicle purchased new 5/21/98. Internet reveals numerous other people have had similar problems. Fortunately, the car didn't break down and cause injuries, fataliites or property damage. A manufacturer and dealers should stand by their products. It cost me $636. 94 to "repair" something that the dealer would not warrant because of apparent design/latent defect (damage allegedly required purchase and installation of new cylinder head to properly repair (at my expense) and I told them "no way"; its their problem, not mine).

First of all, my car has been leaking oil for quite a few months now . . . I just kept putting a quart in every now and then. Well, when I went to get the car inspected at pep boys, they said that my head gasket was leaking. They recommended me getting an estimate and the work done at an authorized Dodge dealer. I want to find out more information from your organization or from Dodge on the head gasket problems that Dodge Neons have. I didn't know this until very recently. I have no repair date or cost yet. I was hoping to get information before I get an appointment/fixed. Can't this be a recall? if so many people have this problem with their Neons why doesn't Dodge fix them? I am paying a car loan on this and it needs fixed already. . . And it is a major fix.

I took our 2000 Neon (that I've had since late summer/early fall of 1999) to get an oil change and the mechanic said it looked like we had an oil leak. After further checking, he informed me that the head gasket was leaking and needed to be replaced. He told me it would cost approximately $1200. I am in the process now of calling other garages for quotes. A CO-worker told me she had the same problem with her Neon and the dealer covered most of the cost since this is an on-going problem with Neons. Please let me know any information you have on this on-going head gasket problem. I don't remember exact day in April I took it to the shop. Records are at home. If you need exact date, I can find that. Thank you for your help.

However, they are making their customers pay for their mistake, which I think is wrong. I have recently seen where Ford is reimbursing their customers for the same problem (faulty head gasket). Why wouldn't Chrysler do the same thing to keep their customers happy?.
