Description of the problem	I purchased this vehicle 5-15-03 and noticed an oil leak the size of a 50 cent piece every time the vehicle was driven. When purchasing i asked if the head gasket problems had been taken care of on neon's, and was told it is not an issue anymore. I had an oil change today 7-18-03 and was told that i needed a new head gasket and it was an often done repair at a cost of $700. 00! After researching on the internet and finding hundreds of complaints about head gasket failure on this particular model, i am more than slightly displeased that dodge, knowing of the problem, and even having a service bulletin out regarding this very problem is interested in taking care of it's owners, i will not be buy a dodge, chrysler, or plymouth ever again! *jb
