: the contact stated there were two problems with the vehicle. There were intermittent problems with all the electrical warning lights on the dash board and intermittent stalling. The vehicle was inspected by a friend who determined the wiring harness was too close to the exhaust and the wiring was melted. Additionally, while attempting to apply brake pressure at 60mph, the rear of the vehicle skidded. Upon inspection, the contact discovered fluid leaking from the driver side rear wheel. The vehicle was never inspected by a service dealer, however the manufacturer was alerted. There is a recall 96V026000, concerning the electrical system and a recall 96V075000, concerning the service brakes. However, the VIN is not included in the recalls.
This problem has been continuous. The problem I am having with my 1996 Dodge Neon has also been identified within this same year and model car and a recall was issued, however my car did not come from the same plant as the recalled Neons. This does not change the fact that the same problem has been identified in the same product!! the Dodge dealership said they would not honor the recall for my Neon. Is there anything I can do about this?
The vehicle was stalling and the instrument panel did not work at all. The manufacturer stated the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA recalls 96V026000 96V075000.

Every 18000 miles the head gasket has failed on the vehicle...brakes failed one time had master cylinder replaced...accident, brakes being investigated to see if accident could have been avoided...airbags did not deploy in frontal collision at speed of 15 mph...seat belt failed in frontal collision at 15 mph
While applying the brakes in a regular stopping situation, no inclement weather, the brakes went out. The pedal went to floor and vehicle kept moving. Driver used the emergency parking brake to stop vehicle. This happened without warning. The master cylinder and ABS brakes were replaced by the dealer.
The brake pedal becomes rock hard and there is no braking ability. After a couple of miles the pedal becomes soft and goes to the floor and the brakes lock up. Master cylinder and power booster have been replaced, problem still exists.
