Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving at 65 mph, the temperature gauge jumped to overheated at which point i pulled off the road. according to the mechanic my head gasket had blown, warping one of the heads in the engine. i was also informed at that time and have discovered subsequently through research that almost every neon which reaches almost 60,000 miles blows the head gasket. in general chrysler vehicles seem to possess a faulty head gasket which needs replaced around 60,000 miles which according to several automotive sources should not even be considered for service until the 100,000 mile mark. *ak
