Frame of car was so rusted that the actual engine mounting system broke in half., lost control of steering and movement. My daughter was driving and the car began to shake she lost control of the steering then it stopped moving though the car was still in drive. Car was moving on a city street and turning was nil.

Approaching a stop sign, the vehicle suddenly came to a jarring stop after the right front wheel hit a small recessed gas company access cover, perhaps 2" deep and 6" in diameter. The frame member between the two front wheels cracked right through in a shower of rust. Fortunately this did not happen at higher speeds or major injuries could have occurred. 12 years seems too soon for this kind of undercarriage wear to have occurred. Car is scrap now but had been running well.

problem #1

Neon

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While driving at highway speeds 65 mph or higher steering wheel vibrates back and forth. Vehicle has been brought back to the dealership 4 times for this problem. All 4 tires were replaced once, and the 2 front tires were replaced at separate times. All wheels have been balanced 3 times, and wheels aligned, which did not correct the problem.
