Car will not "turn-over" to start also, steering wheel will not lock like it should when key is absent. Wondering if the 2 malfuctions are related to one another!!! Please contact or e-mail me to let me know this form was responded to, thanks for your time.
I have had my car in for repair 4 times in 3 yrs. First the spark plugs were bad, had to be replace. Second the wires melted together in my steering wheel column, 4rd the fueld sensor went out in fuel pump had to have the fuel pump replaced. Ask warrenty company what most common problem with the dodge neon was they said the head gasket blowing, now I guess it's my turn for that I took to dealer today for oil leak , they said head gasket blown, need to tear down engine to make sure nothing else is bad ( cracked block / head) seems like an awful lot of problems for a car that's not that old and has been maintained, very dissapointed in vehicle
