ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING OIL AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY QUOTED ME $700.00. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE AND WHEN I CALLED AGAIN THEY SAID THE PLYMOUTH IS MEETING CUSTOMERS HALFWAY AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF. BY READING ALL OF THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS, THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE HEAD GASKETS ONTHE NEONS AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING.. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL...................*AK
