Description of the problem | After driving the newly purchased neon (purchase used, as is) we noticed a leak under the car after being parked. We had the problem looked at and it was determined to be a major oil leak from the head gasket of the car. Being a fairly new model, i feel that this may be a defect in the parts and i want to know if this complaint has been logged before for this model. I am already furious that a dealership can get away with selling a vehicle in this condition, and i would like to know what recourse, if any i have. *ak |
