This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
The engine light came on. Vehicle stalled and shook. Took car to re pair shop where it was placed on a diagnostic machine. Mechanic said they could not perform any repairs to the car until it was taken to a dealer for recall repairs on transmission control module. Took to a dealer for repairs.
On August 12th while driving on scatterfield dr, an area of high construction, my 1995 Dodge Neon suddenly stalled and quit right in the middle of traffic. I had a full tank of gas so I knew that was not the problem and luckily it was a construction area and traffic was moving rather slowly. I was able to pull off the road and the car would not start so I caledl peyton well auto at (765) 644-1111, who on August 11th had just repaired my car for similar problems that included my battery light coming on and then the car may or maynot start.they sent a tow truck to get me. A month earlier the car stalled and just quit and I had it towed to this same dealership who charged me $300 to fix the electrical suspension and harness. On August the 11th I was told it was the starter and that cost me another $300. After researching the recall list I found recall information # 94V033000 that identifies powertrain control module problems that should be replaced. This was obviously never completed on this vehicle. I am scared to drive the vehicle. The peyton well service advisor ben woodfill stated if anything like this happened again they would fix it for free but this was after telling me that the main harness to the motor needed replacing and that they had found some corrosion on another electical part and cleaned it up on August 12th. My fiance spoke with the service advisor and stated that we were under the impression the problem was fixed the first time when we had it towed in but now they were telling us that it would cost and additional $700 to get this so called main harness replaced. It was then that Mr. Woodfill confered with his manager and they stated they would fix anymore problems like the ones I have had for free. To me this is unacceptable. If they know there is aready a problem then why not go ahead and fix it. Don't wait until my car stalls in 65 mph traffic and it is too late. Please help!!!
There was a class action suit against Chrysler by owners of 1995 Dodge Neon's regarding engine failure, which resulted in the PCM being replaced.(lawyer on behalf of clients)
Vehicle surges and hesitates intermittently at any speed. A private mechanic has examined vehicle, and stated power train control module was faulty. Manufacturer informed consumer that this vehicle was not affected by recall 94V033000. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
