On 2nd transmission, and that is failing now (first replaced 3 months after I got the car!!)
On 2nd power steering, which is failing now (first replaced 9 months after I got the car!!)
Bad O2 sensor.
Bad thermostat.
Leaks HUGE amounts of oil.
I wrote a review previously stating that although I had some problems at the beginning, the car was OK. Well, 2 and a half years later, I have to call it quits on the car. It leaks oil to the tune of 3 quarts+ a day from both seals, with probable engine damage due to low oil pressure. Just when one thing is fixed, another thing breaks, as well as the usual noise and window complaints. Although fun to drive when it works, it simply does not work enough of the time to be worth your money. DO NOT BUY!!
Leaking huge amounts of oil eh? Sounds like you have the typical problem with all first generation Neons. Your head gasket has blown. It happens to all of these Neons. Funny how Chrysler refuses to admit it is a design defect in the car when virtually all of these cars have experienced the blown head gasket at one time or another. As far as I am concerned until Chrysler acknowledges their error with these cars and reimburses all their poor customers who were suckered into buying these hunks of junk I will never even consider buying a Chrysler product.
Chrysler did acknowledge the head gasket problem at least with our two Neon's. we didn't have to pay a cent to get them fixed and that was after the warranty was out.
