1995 Dodge Neon Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SCHOOL ZONE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ASKED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF SCHOOL PROPERTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE GAS LEAKING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR STARTING A FIRE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS AND BRAKE FLUID AND THAT THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER NHTSA RECALL#96V228000, REGARDING SERVICE BRAKES,HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES,LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS THAN TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WAITING FURTHER EXAMINATION AND REPAIRS.

THE REAR BRAKE LINE ON THE VEHICLE WAS SO RUSTED THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE LINE BROKE AND THE BRAKES FAILED. LUCKILY I WAS NOT STOPPING FOR A CHILD, STOP LIGHT, OR OBSTRUCTION AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE A CRASH. THE NHTSA SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER HAVING CHRYSLER ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL AND MAKE NOTICE PUBLICLY SO THAT ALL OWNERS OF THIS MAKE, MODEL, YEAR VEHICLE ARE ADVISED AND CAN THEN HAVE THEIR BRAKE LINES INSPECTED AND FIXED. *NM

CONSUMER FEELS THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A DEFECT IN 1995 NEON CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE HIS LIFE. *TS A RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT 5 MONTHS AFTER THE CONSUMERS SON WAS KILLED. THE CONSUMER DIDN'T PURSUE ANY LEGAL ACTION TO DETERMINE IF A STEERING DEFECT AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE CAUSED THE HER SON TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 96V228000 CONCERNING THE ABS BRAKES. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.*AK

VEHICLE DRIVES FROM APPROX 8 MILES BEFORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN AFTER THAT THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF WAITING THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN FOR A FEW MILES THEN STALLS AGAIN. AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. OEDB2 CODE READER SAID CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE.. REPLACES SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, FUEL FILTER, CHECKED COIL. EVERYTHING SEAMS TO BE WORKING FINE. VEHICLE CAN BE RAN AT IDLE FOR VERY LONG TIME WITH NO COMPLICATIONS. PCM IS BAD.... THEIR IS A RECALL IN EFFECT BUT MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH UP. SEE RECALL 94V-033.. BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. AND AFTER RULING EVERYTHING OUT IT IS THE PCM... I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE RE OPENED TO INCLUDE LAST 8 VIN CODE ST356500. *NM
