Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that nhtsafurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(g), NHTSA has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge ram series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had …

There are no injuries or fatalities associated with this alleged defect.while conducting this investigation, odi found that the subject cinches meet the load bearing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 208, and that many of the reported failures were due to incorrect child safety seat installations. Additionally, the report rate is low (1.60/100k).the information available fails to establish the existence of a defect trend at this time.further allocation of agency resources to this issue is unwarranted and the preliminary evaluation is being closed.

The apparent cause of the problem is the accumulation of brass powder, that wears off the electrical contacts inside the turn signal switch.this powder collects in small trails of grease that track from one contact to another.when the concentration of brass in the grease gets high enough, it can cause a high resistance short.this short, in turn can ignite the grease and cause smoke to be emitted from the steering column.the grease used inside the switch, as well as the various plastic components in the column, are fire retardant and will not burn without a sustained heat source.there has been …

HOWEVER I DID CALL CHRYSLER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO "VIN FILTERING" DUE TO THEIR SELECTIVE "VIN FILTERING" MY CAR'S WAS NOT PUT ON THE LIST FOR THE RECALL OF THE PCM-(POWER CONTROL MODULE).

NEON COMPANY SHOULD FIX THESE THINGS FREE OF CHARGE!!! I WISH SOMEBODY WILL CALL ME SOON AS POSSIBLE..I AM UNSURE OF HOW I WILL BE SAFE OR THE CAR CATCH ON FIRE WHILE ME & 2 KIDS ARE INSIDE OF IT..I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THIS NEON!! WHEN I PAID A TRADE IN FOR NICER CAR, I GOT THIS ONE BECAUSE IT WAS BETTER FUEL MILES BUT AFTER I GOT THIS CAR, I SEE THIS WAS A LEMON FROM DAY ONE AND I HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND THE INSTRUMENTS DROP ALL THE TIME, AND I FEEL IT'S THE CAR MANUFACTURE SHOULD FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY! I AM VERY UPSET AND HOPE YOU ALL SEE TO IT THAT I GET THIS CAR LOOKED INTO BY VIA PAID FOR BY PLY., MANUF...THANK YOU, WILLA IN TN. *NM

POWER CONTROL MODULE FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE STALLED AND SHIFTED IMPROPERLY. RECALL 94V033000 WAS ISSUED, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SOMETIMES DO NOT SHOW HOW MUCH GAS, OR TEMPT GAUGES DO NOT WORK...IT SEEMS IF IT IS COLD -OR DAMP-RAINING OUTSIDE- THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK...I HAVE A FEELING THERE IS MORE RECALLS ON MY PLYMOTH-NEON 1995. *AK

DURING IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSED NUMEROUS BURNS TO FACE, NECK, HANDS, CHEST ARMS AND SHOULDERS. *BF THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. *NM

MY GRANDFATHER OWNS A 1995 PLYMOUTH NEON AND THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF SO BADLY THAT IT IS TURNING WHITE AND I DON'T APPRECIATE IT. IT LOOKS CRAZY AND THAT IS NOT HOW A BUSINESS IS RAN. MY COUSIN HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR AND HER PAINT IS ALMOST 60% GONE AND THAT IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPOSIBLE WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE. IS ANYONE GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE? WITH MALFUNCTIONS LIKE THIS I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN. AND I WILL ALSO LET EVERY PERSON THAT WILL LISTEN HOW HORRIBLE THIS COMPANY TREATS ITS CONSUMERS.*AK

THE VEHICLE'S HEAD GASKET BLEW.*MR THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET . *NM

TO PROPERLY INSTALL A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE REAR ON EITHER SIDE ( I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND CANNOT USE THE CENTER) THE SEAT HAS TO BE ALMOST ALL THE WAY BY THE DOOR BECAUSE OF WHERE THE LATCHES ARE POSITIONED IN THE REAR, WHICH SEEMS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THEM THAT CLOSE TO THE DOORS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH FOUR DIFFRENT CHILD SEATS AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEM ALL.*AK

THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK HAD A SMALL EXTRA HOLE IN IT WHICH WAS PLUGGED BY A SMALL VINYL PLUG. IT APPEARED THAT HE FUEL ATE THROUGH THE PLASTIC PLUG AND ALLOWED FUEL TO LEAK OUT. *AK *NM

THIS CAR IS SQEAKING BRAKES...DON'T SEEM VERY SAFE....AND NOISES UNDER THE CAR??*AK

1995 2 DR NEON, THE PAINT STARTED BUBBLING AND THEN PEELING 6 MONTHS AGO. ALMOST ALL THE PAINT ON THE ROOF IS GONE, AS WELL AS THE BACK OF THE TRUNK. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BY THE BACK WINDOW IS ALSO MISSING A LOT OF PAINT.*AK I LIVE IN THE PHOENIX AREA AND ALMOST DAILY SEE UP TO 6 OTHER WHITE NEONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

CONSUMER WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED. THERE WAS A 4 INCH LONG SLIT IN THE TIRE.*AK

POOR DESIGN LEADS TO HEAD GASKET OF PLYMOUTH NEONS TO BLOW FREQUENTLY. CHRYSLER OFFERS NO RE-CALL OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.*AK

PAINT STARTED BUBBLING UP AND PEELING OFF IN LARGE CHUNKS. CAN'T EVEN WASH WITH A HOSE OR MORE PAINT IS REMOVED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPAIR AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY CHRYSLER. THEY STILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBLITY.

PAINT IS PEELING OFF AND IS CRACKING ALL OVER CAR. I HAVE WAXED THIS CAR ALL THE TIME AND IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE OTHER THAN THE PAINT.

BRAKES FAILED TO WORK RIGHT WHEN MY BOYFRIEND WRECKED THE CAR WHICH THEN MADE HIM HIT THE GUARD RAIL. THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T COME OUT. WE CONTACTED THE PLACE WE GOT THE CAR FROM BUT THEY COULD NOT TELL US ANYTHING. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF IT ON OCTOBER 1, 2003. THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION EXPLODED. WE WERE TOLD THE PLACE WE BOUGHT IT FROM DID NOT PUT IN NEW CLUTCH AND PRESSURE PLATE AND THROW OUT BEARINGS IN WHEN WE HAD JUST BOUGHT IT. WE HAD TOLD THEM THE CLUTCH WAS MAKING NOISE. THEY WOULD NOT FIXED IT. THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING WHEN I TOOK IT IN; THAT'S JUST NEONS THEY SAID... MY BIGGEST CONCERN BESIDE THE TRANNY AND CLUTCH IS THE AIR BAGS NOT COMING OUT AT ALL...

THE CAR'S COMPUTER, OR ECU MALFUNCTIONED TWICE. NO POWER WAS REACHING THE COIL, HENCE THERE WAS NO SPARK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AT FIRST THE AUTO SHUTOFF DELAY WAS REPLACED. BUT THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED, IT ONCE AGAIN STALLED. IT TOOK ONE WEEK TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM: BAD COMPUTER IN THE CAR. THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. *LA

BLUE PAINT IS COMING OFF THE ROOF IN SPLOTCHES, WITH SMALL SCATTERED AREAS OF PAINT LOSS ELSEWHERE, AND HAS BEEN DOING SO FOR SEVERAL YEARS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING NOISE. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER THEN NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. *NLM

THE GAS MILEAGE WAS VERY POOR, THE SEAT BELT COVERS, TIRE TREAD, FOG LIGHTS AND DOME LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE AND THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *PH *JB

THE WIRES THAT RUN THROUGH THE GAS TANK ONE OF THOSE WIRES CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNT A HOLE IN TANK. CONSUMER FEELS LUCKY THE CAR DIDN'T BLOW UP. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

UPON INSPECTION OF VEHICLE, CONSUMER NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM THE VALVE COVER. CONSUMER STATED THAT IF THIS LEAK CONTINUED, IT COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT MY 1995 PLYMOUTH NEON HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THE DEALER THAT I TOOK IT TO FOR REPAIRS TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRENTY, BUT THAT I COULD CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. CHRYSLER HAS DECLINED TO COVER ANY OF THE COST OF PARTS AND SERVICE FOR THIS REPAIR, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT HEAD GASKETS ARE A DEFECT IN THIS CAR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY NEON OWNERS ARE FIGHTING THIS SAME BATTLE. I AM APALLED THAT A RECALL WAS NEVER DONE ON THIS PART. VIEW OTHERS PROBLEMS WITH THE NEON HEAD GASTKET AT THIS WEBSITE. <HTTP://GROUPS.GOOGLE.COM/GROUPS?Q=NEON+HEAD+GASKET&IE=ISO-8859-1&HL=EN> I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ON THIS MATTER. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT WARRANTS A RECALL?

FUEL PUMP DRAIN PLUG LEAK. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP OF MY 1995 PLYMOUTH NEON. I HAD AN INCIDENT AND BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS ON IT AND THEY DO NOT SELL THE PLUG BY ITSELF. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW FUEL PUMP. YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF HAS A DRAIN PLUG AND THAT DETERIORATED AND FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK. I THINK THIS NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATING. I WAS LUCKY THAT I CAUGHT IT ON TIME. THINK OF THOSE FAMILIES WHO WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY. I STILL HAVE THE SAME FUEL PUMP. WE JUST INSTALLED A PLUG ON IT.

WAS TRING TO EXIT HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED AND I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T KEEP ME FROM REAR ENDING A TRUCK AND IT LEFT SKID MARKS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. DT

HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH A/C CLUTCH, SEIZED UP AND STARTED SMOKING CAR IS MAJOR HAZARD. DT

HEAD GASKET FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES; LEAKED OIL THROUGHOUT COOLANT SYSTEM, WHICH REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL COMPONENT PARTS, SAVE FOR THE RADIATOR, AND THE OXYGEN FLOW SENSOR. CHRYSLER PAID ALL BUT $200 OF THE GASKET REPAIR, AND I AM ATTEMPTING TO RECOVER THE COST OF THE REMAINING REPAIR WORK. DT

NO SUMMARY. DT

THE FUEL FILLER NECK THAT RUNS TO GAS TANK IS RUSTED. CONSUMER STATES WHEN FILLING TANK GAS POURS ALL OVER THE GROUND. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

HEAD GASKET FAILED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO COOLANT AND ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. OVERHEATING OCCURED ON EXPRESSWAY CASUING ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. OIL AND COOLANT SPILLED OUT THROUGH THE OVERFLOW BOTTLE. DT

CONSUMER STATES HEAD GASKET BLEW 2 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL.*JB

THE FIRST PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE TIMING BELT BREAKING, I RETURNED TO CASINO AUTO SALES TO FIND A SOLUTION,THEIR MECHANIC " FIXED" THE PROBLEM SO I THOUGHT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF LATER WITH A BAD FUEL PUMP ADDED TO THE PROBLEM SO I WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HAVE THAT FIXED. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS TAKEN TO SEARS TO PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES, I WAS TOLD BY A SEARS REP. THAT I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE WRONG SIZE TIRES WERE PUT ON THE CAR WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TIRED WITH WOBBLING. MY VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM THE STEERING COLOUM WHENEVER THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, I HAVENT EVEN BOTHERED TO GO BACK TO CASINO BECAUSE I WOULDNT TRUST THEM TO ACTUAALT FIX IT THE RIGHT AND HONEST WAY DO TO THE FACT THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH CASH SO THEY BASICALLY SOLD ME A LEMON. *AK

MY CAR OVERHEATED ABOUT TWO WEEKS PRIOR. TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC BUT THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY A PROBLEM SO THEY THOUGHT IT WAS LOW ON COOLANT. THEN, MY CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN, STARTED IDLING ROUGH, AND PROCEEDED TO POUR SMOKE OUT BACK. YOU COULD SMELL THE COOLANT BURNING. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL NEONS PRE-99, YET CHRYSLER AND DODGE REFUSE TO RECALL THE CARS.*AK
