Bought car new and I am meticulous about it's maintenance. Oil seal in manual transmission has failed twice now. Once in 2004 with about 10,000 mi. On the car with no damage to clutch disc and again now in 2008 with 45,000 mi. This time the clutch disc was contaminated with oil and was not included in the repair under Chrysler's 7 yr. 70,000 mi. Drivetrain warranty. Ended up paying for a new clutch assembly as well as the 100. 00 deductible. This car has been a nightmare. This is just one of about 15 times this car has been in for major repair.

I bought my 2003 Neon with 18,000 miles. Immediately I noticed the car shifted hard and sometimes when putting into gear would not go into drive. I took to my dealership on 3 occassions, once in 08/03, once in 12/03, and once in 03/04. All three times I was told that the car shifted fine and that the problem could not be "duplicated". On 08/04/03, I was traveling down the interstate whne my transmission locked up and rendered my car inoperable and immobile. Car was towed to dealership and was told that the transmission failed and that they had never seen anything like it before. I was given a totally new transmission unit. Since then the car has been shifting funny and it also hesitates a lot, especially in the late afternoon when it is fairly warm out.
