I own a 1995 Plymouth Neon, recently I noticed an oil leak, come to find out in my investigation that most Neons have had the same problem from 1995 to 1999.the head gasket can fail at just about any mileage, from 10'000 on up. The Chrysler Corp. Is being afforded the luxery of handling this problem on a case to case basis, under there secret warranties program, which means that a person ignorant of this evident problem would more than likely pay more for repairs than a person with knowledge of the problem, this is a very unfair way to let this problem be handled, I believe Chrysler should be made to recall this problem head gasket, so that all consumers can be treated equally and honestly. Why should grandma have to pay $250 to repair her head gasket when curious george only has to pay $50. Thank you.
