EXTERIOR LIGHTING - BACK UP LIGHTS - SWITCH

 The vehicle has had three head gaskets and a transmission replaced once, as well as three neutral safety switches because the back up lights would not shut off, there is also a clnking sound in the front end and safety tsb's on it and the dealer still refused to correct it when under bumper to bumper, dodge's philosophy is wait till the bumper to bumper is done to have the person pay either with the deductable on the service contract or out of pocket. legislation should be passed to have a 3-36 war. on all replacement parts installed during a war. period incase of failure.

 Tl*the contact owns a 1997 dodge neon. the headlights and high beams are very dim. the bulbs were replaced; however, the lights remained dim. oil was placed in the vehicle, but then leaked onto the ground, causing the oil warning indicator light to illuminate intermittently. the contact noticed a grayish-colored smoke exiting the rear of the vehicle. the repair shop stated that the failure was caused by a blown head gasket. the failure mileage was 97,000 and current mileage was 140,301.

 My first complaint would be about the paint. my car has been peeling for the past 2 years now, it bubbles then peels and gets bigger and bigger every day. it is now peeling in 6 spots, the largest is the size of a watermelon. very unhappy!!!! second, the brakes are horrible, the squealing of metal on metal has been occurring since day 1 of getting my car. i was recently driving on a major highway and my steering wheel began shaking like crazy. i pulled over and everything seemed fine. i continued to drive but could not accelerate faster than 60km/hr. i tried driving my car to the mechanics but in the end did not get very far. i pulled over once again and noticed smoke coming from my drivers side front wheel. i also noticed the wheel well caught on fire due to the friction. my car was then towed and my mechanic diagnosed the problem as a ceased caliper. beware, this was scary. my whole front end brake system had to be replaced. too add, i find it's hard to see at night due to a defective plastic that covers the head lights. they are foggy and don't give out enough light. lastly, i find that the sealants on the windows of my two door are horrible. i have to push on my window when closing it in order for the window to seal. this is a big problem, my car was stolen because of this problem. a recall should definitely be considered for the paint, breaks and headlight covers and windows/seals!!! *jb
