Description of the problem | I had bought 2 new dodge neons, 1997 & 1998. First 1998 neon had engine gasket problem, daimlerchrysler fixed it &i paid $100. 00 as i had extended warranty. Now 1997 neon with lower mileage has same engine gasket problem. Two cars same problem. Requested daimler-chrysler to fix the problem as this is manufacturing problem daimlerchrysler is refusing to fix it. Please make daimlerchrysler fix this for all neon owners this is similar to the jeep car problem after you all got after them they are fixing the jeep problem for the jeep customers without any charge. The engine gasket problem is an inherent problem with neon cars. *la |
