Dashboard indicators stop working. I could have a full tank of gas and the fuel indicator will read empty. The car could be running for an hour and the temperature still reads cold.

I have heard too many complaint on these problems not only from other Neon owners, but dealership mechanics as well. Last Chrysler product that I will ever purchase. No safety defect mentioned.

After 2 months of a small oil leak, the problem worsened. The mechanic replaced the head gasket. Recently all of the gauges on the instrument panel completely stopped working.

Dash meters were already previously fixed but said I was going to be charged to replace the 2nd time since I wasn't under warranty anymore. The oil leak is said to be found in all Neons from the mechanics I took it to.
