1997 Plymouth Neon

I BOUGHT THIS 1997 PLYMOUTH NEON ON 8/19/2005 USED WITH 66000 MILES IT SEEMED LIKE A SOLID VEHICLE BUT IN SEPT/OCT WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF RAIN AND I NOTICED PUDDLES IN MY BACK SEAT AREA ON THE FLOOR BOTH SIDES,I CHECKED AROUND THE CAR FOR OPEN WINDOWS ECT.....THERE WAS NOTHING I CHECKED THE TRUNK AND IT SEEMED DAMP BUT NOTHING AS TO MAKE THE REAR FLOOR WET LIKE IT WAS. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL?I KNOW IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE NOW BUT WHAT IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND NOW WITH ME IT COULD TURN INTO A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE FLOOR WAS TO GET RUSTY AND ROT THROUGH SOMEONE COULD END UP GETTING SEVERELY INJURED. IF THERE IS ANY INFO ON THIS PROBLEM COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMEHOW THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. *NM

BRAKES REDONE AFTER 3 YEARS, HEAD GASKET REPLACED AFTER 4 YEARS, CLEAR COAT ON PAINT ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED, MUFFLER ALMOST FELL OFF, EXHAUST DETECTED IN CABIN OF CAR, REVERSE LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, MOTOR MOUNT BROKEN, SEALS ON WINDOWS FALLING DOWN DOOR JAM. *PH *JB **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**768018

ENGINE HEAD GASKET HAS BEEN GOING OUT SINCE 1/00, AND NOW SEVERE OIL LEAKS , IVE PUT IN 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE LAST 3 DAYS! (THIS SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM IN NEARLY ALL 97 NEONS AS, IN MY OPINION, THE MANUFACTURER ADMITS THROUGH AT LEAST TWO SERVICE BULLETINS) MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND MY OIL LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF REGARDLESS OF OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HEAD GASKET REPAIR AND STRONGLT URGE YOU TO FORCE THEM INTO A RECALL SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO FIX THIER MISTAKES. ALSO MY TURN SIGNALS DO NOT TURN OFF AFTER COMPLETION OF A TURN THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ODOMETER READING OF 30,000. INTERIOR DOOR PANEL, PASSENGER SIDE, KEEPS COMING LOOSE FROM THE FRAME, THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED THIS TWICE BUT IT IS LOOSE YET AGAIN. MY INTERIOR ROOF LIGHT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE FIRST TIME DOOR PANEL CAME LOOSE. AND LASTLY, IT FREQUENTLY HAPPENS THAT WHEN MY PASSENGER TRYS TO EXIT THE VEHICE THEY RECEIVE A PAINFUL ELECTRIC SHOCK UPON TOUCHING THE DOOR HANDLE OR PANEL. I SINCERELY HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH AT LEAST THE HEAD GASKET DEFAULT ON MY VEHICLE AND ONCE AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO URGE YOU TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS COMMON PROBLEM!*AK
