Brand	DODGE
Model	NEON
Model Year	1997
File date	04/07/24
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Valve pan gasket and valve cover gasket gave out (blew) 120 miles after the manufacturers warranty ran out. Have replaced once and it has blown out again. This is not right. At this same time, the automatic transmission started making a clunk sound when shifting up or down. If a car manufacturer cannot make a car that lasts well beyond their pathetic warranty, then they should be held responsible.
