My Neon has been intermittently stalling out when slowing for stops, starting the vehicle and intermittently when I am at idle. This becomes an issue when I am pulling off the highway and the car stalls, thus making it difficult for vehicles behind me to stop in time. No crashes have incurred yet, but they are possible. I have taken it in 3 times now to lebanon Chrysler-Plymouth for repair. 11-19: Fuel pump and various cables replaced. Problem returned. !2-31: Idle memory needed to be reset. 1-2-02: Throttle body and thermostat need replaced...all of these items were completed on different dates for the same problem. My car is currently at lebanon Chrysler and hopefully the problem will be fixed completely this time, but it has been a safety issue while I drive. I leave sufficient distance between myself and other vehicles, but I cannot predict how others will drive. Thank you for your time and please let me know what you can do to help. Lisa brady.

Failure#1:1/97-6/97 horn made no noise when pushed. Several visits to two dealers in ft.wayne and indianapolis, in and 6 months later it was finally resolved as being a pinched wire. Had to involve owner of the dealership before it was fixed properly. Failure#2:1/97-3/97 the rear defrost switch failed on occassion for first three months of ownership. Works continuously now. Failure#3:8/97-1998 left turn signal would light up when the brake was applied, only occassionally and while it was slowing down, not at a stop. Failure#4:6/99-current power locks failed. Failure#5: 7/99-8/99 power steering failed. Power switch replaced. Failure#6: 3/00-7/00 A/C failed. 1/2 lb coolant leaked out and was replaced.
