Good morning, I have a 2002 Dodge Neon that I have put money into and I have experienced dishonesty from mechanics until now; paying lots of money to fix a problem that cannot be fixed. I was informed last week that this leak on my car cannot be fixed because its a manufacturer problem. Apparently, this is a problem with all Neon's. Its a fluid leak of oil. A recommended mechanic diagnosed my car and informed me of this news. He said that the sealant is gone and cannot be repaired by any mechanic. What happens now? because this problem cannot be fixed and I'm not in a position to purchase a vehicle, is there a recall to repair this problem? I also had to disassemble my radio because after replacing my battery, the electrical fuse was replaced several times along with the alternator because the radio played after the car was turned off and would kill my battery.

Transmission cooler in radiator leaked, causing transmission fluid to contaminate engine, and also contaminated transmission with radiator fluid. Called Chrysler corp and they said no recall on it and did not offer to help with it. When I google searched this problem there seems to be multiple instances of this happening.

When I attemped to pull out from a stoplight the vehicle wouldn't go anywhere. Almost was rearended by a tractor trailer being that I was trying to move and my foot was not on the brake to engage the brake light. . . . Took a few seconds to realize it wasn't going to move and put my four ways on. This was at an intersection where the speed limit is 45. Vehicle finally engaged but was leaking trans fluid. Got it home in 1st gear and now the car is constantly engaged in drive. When started in park the car lurches forward. The first time I started it after getting it home I almost ran over the person looking under the hood. Odd thing is that there is still fluid in the trans. . . At add but still there and the leak has stopped. Trans is still acting like it did the day it failed though.

The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Neon. While driving approximately 35 mph the vehicle began to decelerate. The contact exit the vehicle and noticed transmission fluid leaking underneath it. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated the radiator had to be replaced and the transmission would have to be flushed. The vehicle was repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.
The radiator cracked which leaked coolant into the transmission and damaged transmission which ended up costing me over $2,000 to replace. The coolant line or whatever runs into the transmission so when the radiator line or whatever cracks it allows coolant to to mix with transmission fluid and damages the transmission.
While driving the vehicle it would not move. After checking the transmission fuel it was leaking onto the ground. Consumer stated the vehicle had plenty of transmission fluid, and that all of the fluids had recently been checked and changed if needed.
Whle driving at 40-45 mph vehicle started to shake, and some fluids started to leak out. Vehicle became inoperable. Contacted dealer ,and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
