Oil is leaking out of head gasket on to exhaust manifold and in to manual transmission gear box due to faulty composite gasket. Several people have complained to dc, some people dc will fix and some not. Have heard of rumored "goodwill policy". To me dc is admitting guilt by tsb090598.

My neon backfires and loses power then stalls, does it driving at 55 or at 10. Wait 30 mins and it will start after backfiring several times. Our local chrysler dealer kept the car for 12 days and it did not stall so they said it was fine , also put through diagnositcs and found nothing. They also came to roadside with diagnostics and found nothing while it was stalled. However it is still doing the same thing. A friend has suggested oxygen sensor. If this is it , why didn't chrysler mechanics find the problem?? I spent over $300 and several stalled on the road hours because they could not diagnos a problem yet, the car would not run?? Please let me know what , if anything I can do to find oput what happened and what exactly is wrong with my 1995 neon. Thank you
Engine head gasket is leaking onto ground. Manufacturer is only willing to reimburse 50% of repair cost. There is no extended warranty that they're offering.*ak since the cause of head gasket failure is primarily due to poor design by the manufacturer, it should be the responsiblity of the manufacturer to correct it or pay for repair.
Head gasket leaked, causing starter to have to be replaced.
Vehicle was running hot and shaking/vibrating. Vehicle overheated, and oil was leaking from underneath the hood due to a cracked head gasket. Vehicle at dealership.
Intermittently while driving at any speed vehicle just cut off. This has been an ongoing problem since june of this year. This could cause a crash which may result in a fatality.

I own a 1995 plymouth neon,recently I noticed an oil leak,come to find out in my investigation that most neons have had the same problem from 1995 to 1999.the head gasket can fail at just about any mileage ,from 10'000 on up. The chrysler corp. Is being afforded the luxery of handling this problem on a case to case basis, under there secret warranties program ,which means that a person ignorant of this evident problem would more than likely pay more for repairs than a person with knowledge of the problem ,this is a very unfair way to let this problem be handled , I believe chrysler should be made to recall this problem head gasket ,so that all consumers can be treated equally and honestly. Why should grandma have to pay $250.00 to repair her head gasket when curious george only has to pay $50.00 . Thank you.
Was charged a deductable for paint job that equaled the cost of the paint work they did. No safety defect.
Cars just cuts off intermittently; no warning, usually when cruising at highway speed
Engine mount bolts sheared causing engine to fall to the right.
The air conditioning failed at 33000 miles and should not have, the head gasket is still hanging in there but is leaking a little each day, no excuse, cooling fans never ran after you shut the car off, sometimes one will run and sometimes both will run. They will at times shut down and leave me enough battery to start the car or it may not. The car is not running hot, less than half way on the gage. The car is maintained with coolant flushed and changed yearly. Help wirh this piece of junk. Plymouth should replace head gaskets , A/C units on every one made at there expense.
