I HAVE A DODGE NEON 2002 WITH 10,000. MILES ON IT. RECENTLY MY CAR IDLES NOW BETWEEN 4-500 RPM. DRIVING MY CAR; CAME TO A STOP LIGHT MY CAR STALLED. NOW SITTING AT RED LIGHTS/ STOP SIGNS THE RPM'S DROPALL THE WAY TO 300 RPM CAR STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. ONE THE TECH'S WHO TOOK THE CAR FOR A ROAD TEST SAID THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER. THE CAR IS DECIDING ON ITS OWN FOR THE RPM'S TO DROP BUT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER ANALYSES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE WAITING FOR A "FLASH UPGRADE TO BE INSTALLED"; ALSO THE CD PLAYER IN THE CAR HEATS UP THE CD'S BURNED MY HAND WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT OU. ON 7-9-03 THEY GAVE ME A LOANER AND ON 7-12-03 THEY TOOK IT BACK. THEY SAID THE ONLY REASON THEY GAVE ME THE LOANER IS BECAUSE I WAS UPSET. THEY REPLACED THE CD PLAYER BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING IS STILL NOT FIXED. ON 7-13-03 CAR STALLED AT A STOP SIGN. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. YOU NEED TO GET INVOLVED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT DOING ANYTHING AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT'. *AK

NOTICED CAR WAS LEAKING OIL; CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND OIL WASN'T EVEN REGISTERING ON THE OIL DIPSTICK. REQUIRED TWO (2) QUARTS OF OIL TO FILL TO PROPER LEVEL. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE OIL IS FINDING ITS WAY INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND BEING EXPELLED FROM THE COOLANT OVERFLOW (EXPANSION) TANK. ALMOST TWO WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE REQUIRED ANOTHER QUART AND WAS LOSING OIL AND COOLANT AT AN ALARMING RATE (POURING OUT OF THE VEHICLE). DEALER HAS INSISTED PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST AND HAS ACCUSED ME OF PUTTING OIL INTO COOLANT OVERFLOW TANK. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE ON THEIR PART TO AVOID WARRANTY LIABILITY. HE INSIST THAT THERE IS NO WAY FOR OIL TO FIND ITS WAY BACK INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS STATEMENT AND IT IS UTTERLY FALSE (EITHER THE HEAD GASKET OR THE WATER JACKET COULD BE RESPONSIBLE, AMONG OTHER THINGS). THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR FIX IT INSTEAD INSISTING THAT THE CAR IS OPERATING ACCORDING TO FACTORY SPECIFICATION AND THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS, ENGINE SEIZURE, ETC., ANY ONE OF WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF LIFE, MINE OR MY FAMILY. *TT
THIS CAR HAS USED MORE THAN 10 QUARTS OF OIL SINCE NEW (NOT COUNTING CHANGES). IT HAS JUST OVER 20K MILES NOW AND STILL USES OIL. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR LEAK.

THIS CAR HAS USED MORE THAN 10 QUARTS OF OIL SINCE NEW (NOT COUNTING CHANGES). IT HAS JUST OVER 20K MILES NOW AND STILL USES OIL. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR LEAK. THE FUEL MILEAGE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING NO BRAKE LIGHTS JUST AFTER PURCHASE. AFTER TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER (AND THE SERVICE WRITER TELLING US THAT WE REMOVED THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER WRONG), THEY DISCOVERED THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BACKUP LIGHTS WAS CRUSHED BY THE SHIFTER IN REVERSE AND SHORTED THE LIGHTS. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT POOR STARTING AND SHUDDERING AFTER A COLD SOAK, THE DEALER REPLACED THE INJECTOR O-RINGS, WHICH SOLVED THE SHUDDER, BUT NOT THE MILEAGE. NOTHING HAS HELPED THE OIL USAGE, NOT EVEN THE TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE A BAFFLE IN THE VALVE COVER AND AN "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST, WHICH WE PERFORMED. YES, IT USES OIL. I SHOULD'VE BOUGHT MY DAUGHTER A NISSAN, OR, LIKE I JUST BOUGHT MYSELF, A BRAND NEW FORD PICKUP. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST DAIMLER-CHRYSLER PRODUCT...EVER!
CONSUMER STATE WHILE TRAVELING NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. CONSUMER PULL VEHICLE OVER AND LOOK UNDER HOOD AND NOTICE FLAMES ON ENGINE. CONSUMER CLOSE HOOD FIRE WAS PUT OUT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER TECHNICIAN NOTICE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS TO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE HAD LOCKED UP, DURING INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, IT WAS POINTED OUT TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE AIR INTAKE PORT LAYS UNDER THE VEHICLE PARALLEL TO THE WHEEL AND IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO WATER COMING OFF THE ROAD AND BEING DISPLACED BY THE MOVING TIRE, CONSUMER ARGUED THAT IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE IT SEEMED TO BE IN THE WRONG LOCATION, THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN IN HIGH WATER, HOWEVER CONSUMER DISAGREES AND STATES THAT YES IT WAS RAINING, BUT THE WATER WAS NOT THAT HIGH, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE BLOCK.*JB
