"Great car for the first 50,000 miles"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The check engine light came on before 60,000 miles. No one could find anything wrong with my car. The light went out after a tune up.

After 50,000 miles I noticed the air conditioner only gave hot air. I was told I have a leak and they cannot tell where the leak is coming from.

At 63,000 miles, my car started leaking oil. I was told it was the head gasket and would cost over $800 to fix it. I called Chrysler and explained my issue and they told me to take it to a dealer, and that I would be responsible for the first $100.

General comments?

The Neon has been a great car for the first 55,000 miles. After that, everything seemed to go down hill.

It was this web site that helped me discover the head gasket as a major issue with the Neon. Without this site, I would have spent $800 to get this fixed instead of having Chrysler pay for it.

I was told there is no guarantee that my car will be as good as new. It seems they have restructured the head gasket a couple of times over the past years. A big problem is when someone gets the gasket leak fixed, the mechanic only replaces certain parts and the leak will still occur.

I was reading through your review, and now I am just wondering how do you contact Chrysler or Dodge to have them pay for the head gasket? I was told I have a head gasket and cam sensor leak in my Neon, and they estimated it as a $600.00 fix. If Chrysler or Dodge will pay for it, then that would be fantastic. Any information regarding this would be helpful. Thank you.

Basically I just did a search online for the main Chrysler Corporation number and talked to several different individuals before one would help me.
