POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IN REVERSE. THIS WAS WORSE WHEN 20 TO 85 DEGREES OUTSIDE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE UNTIL 55-60 MPH, BUT 1 AND 2 WERE OKAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT LOCAL CHICAGO NON-SELLING DODGE DEALER AT MY COST OF $1,200. THE DEALER ADVISED FRONT PUMP SEAL FAILED CAUSING ENTIRE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT AND FAIL. THE SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THESE VEHICLES. REVIEWING WEB SITES (INCLUDING THIS ONE) I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT SET OF SYMPTONS. I HAVE RECENTLY REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM DODGE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO RESPOND YET. *AK

IT TURNS OUT ALMOST ALL OWNERS OF 95-98 NEON'S HAVE HAD HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS AND CHRYSLER HAS A CASE BY CASE METHOD OF HELPING WHICH IS NOT FAIR. HEAD GASKEST SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR.
