The wiring harness on my 1996 dodge neon has been rubbing on the steering wheel support member. The member has sharp edges. The result was the wiring harness shorted against the steel member, melting a wire to the inside and panel lights, smoking, and causing an electrical failure. None of the fuses designed to protect the system were blown. I traced a melted wire from the light switch all the way to the radio. This is a potential for a vehicle fire. Chrysler should recall all neon's and place a wiring tube around the harness where it contacts the support brace under the dash.

On the engine failures, both the head gasket and the valve cover gasket failed at separate times, resulting in all of the oil running onto the ground. The car was still under warranty, and the dealer repaired both problems. Regarding the brake light problem, the left turn signal often comes on when I apply the brakes. It will go off if I touch the turn signal handle on the steering column. This has gone on ever since I purchased the vehicle. Regarding the wheel problem, the car pulls to the right at highway speeds and the steering/handling has felt loose and wobbly despite having the rack and pinion replaced, a full alignment and having the tires balanced. Also, brake rotors are warped and currently being replaced. And, water leaked into the trunk and soaked items in both the trunk and on the rear floor. This, I think, has been fixed by resealing the rear lights.

Power steering: when driving there is a loss of power, can't turn the vehicle. When it rains and going through a puddle of water there is no power . Have taken in for repair and the dealer says the vehicle is fine.
