The frame, front cross member, rusted and failed on 2000 Dodge Neon. Luckily no one was injured. There does not appear to be a repair for this failure. I am unaware of any recall but there should be. The vehicle is not driveable any longer. What can I do?.

: the contact stated while the vehicle was being serviced at a local repair shop the mechanic noticed the front cross member was very rusty. The vehicle was then taken to a service dealer for inspection who agreed, but there was no clear determination of how to remedy the problem. The contact expressed the dealer should have noticed the problem before the warranty expired because the vehicle had been seen by the service dealer for regular maintenance. Updated 5/31/2006 -.

Every time it rains, water comes in through the area where the back passenger door meets with the body of the car, causing rain to pool on the floor of the back seat and then the seat gets wet and the back of the seat also. I have made sure that window and door are securely closed. I can see no obvious reason for the rain to be getting into the car. It only does it on the back passenger side. Please advise me of ways to remedy this situation as soon as possible. The car is in mint condition and I wold like to keep it that way. Now the carpet and seat smells musy and I can't let my children ride in the car.

Water leak in front of driver's side cabin.

I feel this car has a design problem. It is too low in the front and too high in the rear. The driver cannot see the hood or trunk. You must drive by instinct instead of sight. (unsafe condition) there is only 6 inches of clearance between the road and a frame behind the front bumper. It hits bumper type curbs in parking lots and any high spots on the road. . And if you are on a road under a paving job( there are many in my area) and hit a sewer sticking up there would be major damage or possibly the car would pole vault on to its roof it almost happened to me. I was told by the dealer and Chrysler that the vehicle was normal and it just takes getting used to. Maybe so but my wife feels it is a very unsafe car and she is afraid to drive it. Who ever the lady was that called me from Chrysler said she had the same car and the same problem with not being able to see when backing up and not being able to see the hood when going forward. I feel this is an unsafe automobile.
