1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 1997 Plymouth Neon

Failure Date: 10/18/2004

Car stalled out and stopped on freeway! I was almost rear ended. Stated right up but stalled again. Had it towed to shop (pepboys). They replaced several parts before referring me to dealership as they could not find and fix the problem. Chrysler dealership says it is engine wire harness at $930. 00 to fix. Daimler-Chrysler knows part is failing in Neons but declined to assist in the repair. Dealerships ordered part 7 days ago. Still has not arrived and I have no transportation.

3 Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 1996 Plymouth Neon

Failure Date: 02/17/2001

Going down road at close to stopping, about 10mph and all the needles started going crazy in colunm of dashboard with lights of seatbelt and battery going off and on. Took car to get diagnostic test done on it and found out that the altenator is producing too much output for car and is trying to burn up wiring harness unit in car. Said this can be very dangerous and catch the car on fire. Have extended warrenty but the dealership seems to find ways around the warrenty of the things I find wrong of saying it iss something else doing it. Service lights did not come on to indecate problem with anything in engine nor did the oil light come on to tell me that my car had leaked out all oil. Have a oil leak again. Fixed once already. 350. 00 is too much to pay out for a problem occuring every two years. This also dangerous according to mechanic. Why is there no recall if altanenator is not correct size for car?.
