| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have purchased a 1998 dodge neon for our son who is in college. the car only has 24,000 miles on it currently. the head gasket is gone and oil is leaking everywhere. the repair for this will be between $700 and $800. i have made contact to chrysler who stated that because the 36,000/3 year warranty was up they would not do anything about. i asked them if that was the best that their engines could do (head gasket going at 24,000 miles). from what i have read and been told by a dealership, chrylser knew they had a problem in 1998 with head gaskets and rectified it during the same year but never recalled the cars there were manufactured early in the production. i have seen so many complaints with the head gasket on this particular model so i don't understand what it takes to get a recall on this part.*ak |
