I am really concerned with the way chrysler corp. Is handling the head gasket problems on the 95-98 neon's. So far my head gasket has been blown. Most of the dodge neon 95 -99 have head gasket problems resulting in oil lick and burn of fuel. I have to replace the head gasket, which will gost me about $1500.00. I also have noticed the poor crash results on the neon 95. Which can result in a very seroius injuries.

Linkage "blew apart" at some point in 2001 and had to be repaired using oem washers and nuts.
