There is a class action suit against chrysler corporation, there are several consumer advocates that have experienced engine stalling while driving, resulting in the pcm being replaced, the manufacturer argues that recall 614, 94v033000, concerns only vehicles that were produced prior to february 1, 1994 and none of the vehicles shipped to israel were produced prior to feb 1, 1994. (moshe kaplansky law offices & notary on behalf of consumer advocates, e-mail mail@kaplansky-law.co.il)*jb | |||

1)instrument gauges work sporadically: speedometer fails most not reporting any speed, or sticking at last location. tachometer fails same way, and on occasion all gauges stick at current position. 2) exterior brake lights: brakes lights remain on/do not shut off while driving and even after car has been shut off completly. i've found them still on after several hours (no other lights on) 3) left turn signal: from time to time when you hit the brakes the left turn signal switches on. 4) car stereo: stereo/tape player stopped working. clock does not come on, nothing. it does light up with interior lights but does not work at all. 5) was rear-ended in mva and airbags did not deploy.*ak | |||

The month i bought the car i had to get the motor mounts replaced and the transmision. the motor mounts were busted and i shouldn't have been driving the car on the transmission. since i bought the car the paint job has been peeling. i have no paint on the roof. i had to sand down what was left and primer it. the rest of the paint on the car is peeling everywhere. recently the gauge cluster went out. when i would turn on the car the gauges wouldn't do anything. then it stopped, now the speedometer won't move along with the odometer. so i have no idea how fast i am going. last, whenever i get out of my car from driving it smells like someone farted, i have a constant check engine light that tells me its the o2 senser but it's not we tested those. the catalitic convert is bad on the car and i have to replace it. | |||

Vehicle drives from approx 8 miles before check engine light comes on. then after that the engine sputters and stalls while driving down the road. after several minutes of waiting the vehicle can be driven for a few miles then stalls again. after sitting all night vehicle can be driven for a short distance. oedb2 code reader said cylinder 1 misfire.. replaces spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, checked coil. everything seams to be working fine. vehicle can be ran at idle for very long time with no complications. pcm is bad.... their is a recall in effect but my vin doesn't match up. see recall 94v-033.. been going on for quite some time now. and after ruling everything out it is the pcm... i believe the recall should be re opened to include last 8 vin code st356500. *nm | |||

On august 12th while driving on scatterfield dr, an area of high construction, my 1995 dodge neon suddenly stalled and quit right in the middle of traffic. i had a full tank of gas so i knew that was not the problem and luckily it was a construction area and traffic was moving rather slowly. i was able to pull off the road and the car would not start so i caledl peyton well auto at (765) 644-1111, who on august 11th had just repaired my car for similar problems that included my battery light coming on and then the car may or maynot start.they sent a tow truck to get me. a month earlier the car stalled and just quit and i had it towed to this same dealership who charged me 300.00 to fix the electrical suspension and harness. on august the 11th i was told it was the starter and that cost me another 300.00. after researching the recall list i found recall information # 94v033000 that identifies powertrain control module problems that should be replaced. this was obviously never completed on this vehicle. i am scared to drive the vehicle. the peyton well service advisor ben woodfill stated if anything like this happened again they would fix it for free but this was after telling me that the main harness to the motor needed replacing and that they had found some corrosion on another electical part and cleaned it up on august 12th. my fiance spoke with the service advisor and stated that we were under the impression the problem was fixed the first time when we had it towed in but now they were telling us that it would cost and additional 700.00 to get this so called main harness replaced. it was then that mr. woodfill confered with his manager and they stated they would fix anymore problems like the ones i have had for free. to me this is unacceptable. if they know there is aready a problem then why not go ahead and fix it. don't wait until my car stalls in 65 mph traffic and it is too late. please help!!! *ak | |||

My car has had a problem with overheating since i had it; but the service department at the dealership wpuld always say it was the thermostat when it wasn't. i changed the thermostat three times with the same problem. when the warranty ran out, i was told all these problems with the car that was existing before it ran out that would have been covered. the car has been leaking oil and smoking under the hood ( not exhaust valves) but i am told the head gasket blew out, and that this happened with alot of neons. also the rear main seal leaks right around 60k miles which is when i started having oil problems. my car overheats in warm weather ,mostly when i am stopped at a light or in traffic and i have to cut the heat on until i start moving. i thought it was a fan malfunctioning, but again, the service department said it was the thermostat, which it wasn't. this has been happening since i had the car. if this happens with alot of neons i think this should be remedied by the manufacturer. *ak | |||

Since the purchase of my neon in may '95, i have had nothing but costly problems. this past year, alone, the repair, towing, and car rental expenses have exceeded $5000.00. this car is costing me a fortune to maintain, as these are major components that are malfunctioning. the items i have registered complaints on are just a few of the items i am having problems with. in just over a year, i have had to have a head gasket replaced, my air compressor seized, almost resulting in a fire, my throttle body had to be replaced, they still can't determine why my brakes squeal constantly. although i have heard that this, among other things, is a very common and dangerous problem with the '95 neons. my my engine controller had to be supposedly updated, my engine skips, but the dealer says nothing is wrong with it. my warning lights don't work, with these problems, you would think that you would have some kind of warning. and now, i have had to replace gear shift cables, and as of yesterday, i had a clutch cable snap which may have caused transmission damage. i have been told that the clutch cable has been updated 3 times for the '95 neon because of problems with it, i will be investigating this further. my air compressor has malfunctioned twice since i have had the car, as well as the evaporator. for what it has cost me to repair this car, because chrysler refuses to admit fault, although it is obvious that this model and year is a lemon, i could be driving a mercedes benz!! i have never been so disappointed in a vehicle as i am with this neon! and obviously i am certainly not the only person with constant problems and astronomical repair costs being incurred. it is quite obvious by this database that there are many other people who are in the same boat i am in. chrysler has made not only a poor product, but also a dangerous product. i can't believe that they would knowingly sell a vehicle to so many people with the problems that the neon has had. thieves! | |||
