Five problems related to radiator have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Head gasket cracked, causing water to go into radiator. In less than a year head gasket cracked again, spraying oil over the engine. Contacted dealer, and had to replace head gaskets twice.
For the second time now my car has a leaky gasket (which has contributed to having to replace the radiator this time as well). I have heard endless stories of this happening to Neons-when will a recall be enforced? this is obviously not an isolated problem when it is common knowledge among mechanics and owners of Neons that this could happen.
Since the purchase of this 1996 Plymouth Neon, in March 17,1997 there has been numerous problems. Starting with camshaft seal. Oil leakage around head gasket many times, radiator recall, multiple cylinder misfire, break repairs, master cylinder seals swollen, rubber trans return cooler line cracked, rebuilt trans and replaced seals, fuel pump replacement, replace rear main seal, replace pan gasket, replace oxygen sensor, and recent trans failure.
Oil in radiator fluid. Vehicle has not been taken to dealership to be examined. But, consumer stated that head gasket was blown in engine. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Thermostat and water pump failed. Nlm.
