| I was driving to work and this car pulled out in front of me and i pushed the brakes and i slid into the car causing me to spin around and end up on the wrong side of the road. i have replaced the brakes every year and they still squeak really bad. the transmission has leaked for the entire time i have had the car. i have to replace the tires every 3 months and a/c went out 3 years after i bought the car. i haven't fixed the a./c compressor the cassette tape player stopped working after i bought the car and it's still broke. the bulbs in the lens of the light are very dim can't drive at night. i had to replace to rotors this year i still have them. *tr | |||

| I have had several problems with my 2000 plymouth neon. not only have i had to replace my brakes numerous times but i have had problems with it since the day i bought it new. from engine lights going off to pcv problems to electrical problems. my newest problem is the car stalling randomly. i will just be driving down the road and then it will begin to act up. i press on the gas pedal and it slows down. i let off of the gas pedal and it speeds up. soon after that it stalls, or dies. i would then put some fuel cleaner in the gas tank and it seems to help for a few miles. then it starts to act up all over again. usually i can get it restarted by sitting for a few minutes but i can't seem to find the problem. some days it will be just fine and other days i can't get it to start. i have had it towed to find out when it gets to my house it starts again. one day it died in the middle of the highway at night with no where to pull over. i was almost hit several times. right now we are still trying to find the problem. | |||

| I have taken this car to charlie thomas service dept. multiple times for repairs on this throttle body that sticks open and accelerates my vehicle to where i have to slam on the brakes. there is a recall for the injection system that causes the throttle body to become carboned up but the service dept will not honor this recall. i am also having problems with the brakes and the service dept says this is normal. they are making a very loud squealing noise when i first start driving, yet they charged me to repair the problem and then tell me that it is normal. who do i contact to see about being reimbursed for those charges. i would like to also report that my car has a water leak that took them almost 2 1/2 weeks to locate and it has ruined my carpet padding. who do i report this to. the leak was coming from the trunk. i would like to report this service dept to the correct organization about their service. i am quite sure it is not normal to have my accelerator stick while i am driving yet that is what this service dept is saying is normal when the car is cold. well it happens when the car has warmed up and been driven for awhile. thank you for reading my complaint and please contact me via email, phone, or mail. | |||
