#720502March 23, 2000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 1995. I DO NOT USE THE CAR OTHER THAN FOR VERY LIMITED DRIVING AS SEEN IN MY LOW MILEAGE. IT IS MARCH 23 OF 2000, MY CAR HAS APPROX 29,000 MILES, VERY LOW AND ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP BEING TOLD THAT THE HEAD GASKET THAT THEY REPLACED IN 1/99 DID NOT HOLD, WHICH IN 99, THEY THOUGHT WAS ODD THAT IT WENT SO SOON. I AM ALSO HAVING THE CAR FIXED BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING SWITCH SENSOR HAS FAILED. I BELIEVE THAT ON A CAR WITH LITTLE MILEAGE THAT I SHOULD BE INCURRING THIS MUCH PROBLEMS. IF THIS CAR HAS THIS MANY PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD REDESIGN THE CAR AND NOT SELL THEM UNTIL SO. ALSO, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT FITGERALD AND THEY CAN TELL YOU OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR!!!L *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LOSES POWER UNEXPLICABLY DURING NORMAL CAR USAGE. POWER IS IMMEDIATLY RESTORED AFTER THE LOSS, HOWEVER IT MAKES VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT TIMES WHEN ODEMTER IS BEING RESET. EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE IN VEHICLE'S TRUNK AND DRIVER'S SIDE BACK SEAT HAS OCCURED. BOSAK TO FIX AFTER CAR WAS RECENTLY BOUGHT, HOWEVER, LEAK NOT COMPLETELY FIXED AND RE-DISCOVERED 1 YEAR LATER. A HOLE WAS DISCOVERED IN THE DRIVERE'S SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL AS A RESULT OF UNEXPLICABLE EXCESSIVE CORROSION. IT WAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT SEALS WERE BROKED ON DRIVERE'S SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW TRACK WAS GLUED IMPROPERLY CAUSING THE WINDOW AND TRACK TO COME LOOSE. OUT OF POCKET EXPENCES NOT REVOVERED BY DEALERSHIP. ALSO DISCOVERED WAS A SEVERE LEAKE FROM HEAD GASKET. CALLED SEVERAL REPAIR PLACES AND FOUND THE NEON'S HAVE HAD MUCH TROUBLE IN THE PAST.. EXCESSIVE OIL LOSS, AND REPAIRS ARE COSTLY. FRONT ENGINE MOUNT OFF; CAUSING PRESSURE IN TRANSMISSION LINES AND TRANS FLUID LEAKAGE. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP ABOUT THE CAR; NEED TO RECOVER COSTS.
