"Friends don't let friends buy neons"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

MY head gasket blew at 49,000.The radiator blew. Had to replace the battery. Short in the turn signal switch. The transmission leaks fluid. The car vibrates at speeds above 60mph, like the steering column is gonna break loose. I followed all the recommended maintenance in the manual, though.

General comments?

The dealership was virtually no help.

It does have a nice factory stereo.

The 1st 40,000 miles were pretty free of defects. It has been falling apart quickly. I wouldn't wish this car on my worst enemy.

The shaking in your steering column is most likely extremely worn TIE ROD ENDS. I have that vibration and it'll be $315 to replace the outer tie rod ends.
