Engine problems of the 1998 Plymouth Neon

My car leaks water. My trunk leaks and the rear floor leaks on both sides. What is causing this it has done this since I have had the car but it has gotten worse. I have also replaced the engine at 36000 miles.

I bought the car and had great mileage for about 4 months. Now I get less than someone who owns a chevy camero that is 3 years older than my car. I went on a trip to southern illinois and 5 and 1/2 hour drive. I used all the oil in my car. I took it to a dealer and was told that I had blown a head gasket.

At 53,000 miles the head gasket on my 1998 Plymouth Neon failed. The repair cost approximately $700 and had to be made on an urgent basis by a certified non-dealer repair facility. This vehicle has a known history of this failure and a service bulletin was issued on sept. 8, 1999. The company has declined financial participation in the repair of this vehicle. As a known problem, I believe the company should bear the financial burden of this repair and issue a recall.

Cracked block with only 63,000 miles and less than 5 yrs old.

These problems were found during a replacement of our third transmission. We are really upset with Plymouth/Dodge auto. We had this car for only a year and it has been nothing but trouble. Like I said, 3 transmissions, 1 engine due to head gasket problems. Now, the oil pressure sending unit, vehicle speed sensor, and the rear main oil seal. ----dims 11 ivoq entry after 12/12/01 cut-over to artemis-------769336.

Engine check light illuminated. Driver took vehicle to dealer, and they stated that head gasket needed to be replaced. Please provide any further information.

While inspecting transmission problem dealer noticed, and informed consumer of front engine mounts going bad and needed to be replaced. Repairs made at consumer's expense. Feel free to provide any further information.

On several occassions we took vehical to the dealer and was told everything is fine just replace your brakes. After constently being sent away by the dealer, we eventually took the car to another mechanic and found out all kinds of problems: blown head gasket, replace the brakes (again), calipers drifting to one side, etc. My warranty just expired, but I think it should still be honored since the problems could have been fixed a long time ago.

The headgaskets on the Neons model years 95-99 go out continuously and diamler Chrysler will on pay to fix those they want too. I found out they pay for some people to fix their car but not others, especially those that wont take it to a Dodge dealer. I cant take my vehicle to anywhere but where I purchased the vehicle because of my warranty. The ac also continuously goes out.

While driving on the freeway, vehicle slipped out of gear and the and the engine began shaking, consumer was informed that the engine mounts had fractured.

I have owned my car for only 2 years and 7 months. I bought a new car so I would not have to go through all these problems. My warranty has expired but I feel that Chrysler isn't dealing with known issues that are a direct result of there own design flaws. I was given the goodwill warranty for my head gasket but was required to copay 250 dollars. My request to have my a/c fixed was denied even though there are documented warranties for other models with similar problems. My car is less than three years old and I shouldn't be having these types of problem and it wouldn't be bad if Chrysler would just take some ownership for there known but "secret" defects. I just want my car to work like a normal 2 and a half year old car and for Chrysler to stop pushing the problems off on the fact that our warranty has run out. The just don't seem to care.

While traveling at 70 mph on freeway, lost feeling in steering, dealer found that engine mounts were loose, dealer replaced engine mounts.

The Neon was misfireing, replaced plugs two different times within 2 months, gas millage rotten took to dealer, they replaced the oxygen sensor, still having trouble, the car was in 3 times for that problem. For the past 1 1/2 months the vehicle has been loosing oil, leaving puddles all over, have put in 6 qts. Of oil on my own in the past 1 1/2 months, plus had a complete oil change. Found out the head gasket is bad, Chrysler says they have not hurd of any other Neons with this trouble. Tormohlens (dealer) also says there have been no other Neons with this trouble. Contacted other repair shops, was told this is a reaccuring problem with the Neons. Dealer offered to do it if Chrysler pay part, and then I have to pay $200. 00 deductable. If this is a known problem with Neons there should not be any cost. This is a problem that should be recalled if there are that many Neons with this problem. Will not fix at this time, not paying for. Attorney contacted.

Blown head gasket and cracked head. Mechanic says will happen again in about a year as well he says it is a reaccuring problem for the Neons.

When driving vehicle has bad vibration and makes a lot of noise. Dealer says the front motor mounts broke, but vehicle is okay to drive.

Engine head gasket-repairs will be between $600-$800.
