3 Battery problem of the 1998 Plymouth Neon

Failure Date: 09/01/2001

Initially, I went in to the dealer for a new battery six months after I had bought the car, only to find out that there were numerous parts that needed to be repaired. Among those, the most expensive and most surprising was the engine oil leak. I was told that the cylinder head gasket was leaking motor oil, and that it was imperative that it be fixed as soon as possible. As a student, $670 for the head gasket was an extraordinary amount to invest. The advisor at the dealer informed me that the model of the car inherently contained a poorly designed engine, which was cause to the matter. He also mentioned that he wondered why the manufacturer had not conducted a recall. I did not know that the consumer could place a complaint for a possible recall, and was only advised to contact Chrysler (not moss motors) by a telephone follow-up few weeks after. If indeed the engine is at fault, I strongly urge a recall to be made. Thank you for your support.

4 Battery problem of the 1996 Plymouth Neon

Failure Date: 08/07/2000

I have had non-stop problems with the car since day one. It is getting to costly to keep repairing the same problems over and over again. I am really disappointed in the help I have received from the dealership in regards to the several problems I have had with the car. No safety defect mentioned in summary.

5 Battery problem of the 1996 Plymouth Neon

Failure Date: 03/27/2000

First the battery kept draining due to a short within in it and was replaced. Second, the transmission failed and had to be completely overhauled. By the time anyone figured out what was wrong it would not go in reverse. Third, the head gasket is causing an oil leak and needs to be replaced. Other things that just stopped working include the relase for the trunk and back left speaker. This car is a nightmare and something should be done to compensate anyone who still has one.
