99 Plymouth Neon 2. 0 dohc.
Battery came on, and all dash lights went dim. Then consumer heard a houling noise, consumer was able to get home. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer indicated that harness wiring had melted. Dealer said it was common in these types of cars. There was a recall 96v026000 on underhood wiring harness, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN.
I have always maintained my car regularly, but I've had so many problems with it. First of all, I've always had brake trouble, second: my turn signals will sometimes come on when I hit the brakes (or sometimes not at all), my defrost keeps breaking (only vent and bi-level will work); my horn died for no reason a few months ago, and today my car won't start (I drove to church, and it worked fine, but when I later tried starting my car, it wouldn't start. It appeared as though the battery was dead <even though I din't leave anything on. So a friend jump-started my car. It started, but on my way home, the odometer, gas gauge, and hot-cold gauges were fluctuating up and down, and the radio kept resetting channels. The seatbelt and battery lights kept flickering on and off, as did the chimes. When I got home, I charged my car, although I felt certain it was not only the battery causing the problem. Now, my car won't start at all, and I hear a clicking noise (if anything) when I turn the ignition. The gauges on my dash move up and down (even the spedometer) and yet my car remains still. The dome and dashboard lights flicker on and off, and the radio changes stations, yet receives nothing. It seems like some major electrical or computer problem. My car worked fine (with the exception of the broken horn and usual problems, until today. Also, at my 36000 check-up, the " engine" check light came on, but the mechanics said it was no cause for concern. I have had so many problems with this car. Please tell me if other persons are having similar difficulties. Could my dead horn have been caused by whatever is malfunctioning now? also, I hear wierd clunking noises many times while driving, espec when driving over bumps or around curves. My car makes squeaking noises like a bird chirping also. I have taken good care of my car, which is why now I am convinced that these must be manufacturing problems. I have even complained to the dealerships. Please help.
Engine head gasket has been going out since 1/00, and now severe oil leaks , ive put in 5 quarts of oil in the last 3 days! (this seems to be a reoccurring problem in nearly all 97 Neons as, in my opinion, the manufacturer admits through at least two service bulletins) my check engine light comes on frequently and my oil light never goes off regardless of oil level in engine. I feel that the manufacturer is solely responsible for this head gasket repair and stronglt urge you to force them into a recall since they obviously are aware of the problem but refuse to fix thier mistakes. Also my turn signals do not turn off after completion of a turn this has occurred since odometer reading of 30,000. Interior door panel, passenger side, keeps coming loose from the frame, the dealer has repaired this twice but it is loose yet again. My interior roof light has not worked since first time door panel came loose. And lastly, it frequently happens that when my passenger trys to exit the vehice they receive a painful electric shock upon touching the door handle or panel. I sincerely hope you can help me with at least the head gasket default on my vehicle and once again I would like to urge you to force the manufacturer to issue a recall on this common problem!.
