In heavy rain the car is very hard to steer, I have had to replace the transmission, I have had to replace the 02 sensor, and now the cooling fans don`t work I have also noticed a musty smell when I turn on the air cond. I have also had to replace the egr valve it is just one thing after another that keeps going wrong with this car.

Exhaust has a small amount of black smoke coming from it and the air-conditioner compresser whistles. I checked for an oil leak and found it to be the head gasket. Why such a huge problem is not causing a forced recall is beyond me!.

Engine gasket leaks oil onto exhaust pipe. Consumer is responsibile for $600-$700 repair. Gaskets believed to be the wrong size.

In October while driving on the highway with two friends there was a leak in exhuast system. Because everyone in vehicle fell asleep, they ran off the road and hit a 10 foot enbankment. Passenger suffered some serious injuries to hip/head,/rm, and some internal bleeding. All consumers in vehicle were wearing seat belts. Air bags did not deploy. There was no prior warning as to air bags and exhaust system failures.

This Neon had a know manufactures defect concerning engine head gasket. Oil comes shooting out of the back of the head. Covering the complete back side of the motor. Dripping down on all the hot parts of the engine and exhaust system. My car didn't catch on fire because of this but somebodies will one day. Chrysler knows of the problem yet will not recall it. Can you please look into this and help the poor saps that bought these cars.

Oil light went on, put several quarts of oil in throughout week but dip stick always read empty, oil light stayed on, took to lube shop where they identified a blown head gasket. Took to authorized dealer/repair shop, where they at first would not cover under warranty, but after inspection they replaced the head gasket, as well as a broken cam valve, faulty thermostat, and some exhaust parts, all of which were defective/broken unbeknownst to me. Plymouth covered all repair expenses then.

All repairs were paid for by owner. Any recalls on listed problems?.

When it rains vehicle vibrates/shimmies and loses power. The dealer statws it was exhaust sensors. Owner has had vehicle into the dealer 4 times about the problem.

Noisy exhaust system. Also rear brake cylinder chirps.

The master cylinder/ brake pads and fuel tank sensor and the exhaust system failed. Please send work order.

Vehicle overheats due to the relay sticking in the off position. The engine gaskets are leaking oil which is spraying onto the exhaust system. The manufacturer has been notified.

Head gasket leaked oil. Cam shaft sensor seal also leaks oil. The oil leaked on to the exhaust system and on to the ground. Chrysler knew about the problem.
