• Safety belt cinching latch plate investigation # PE02082

  There are no injuries or fatalities associated with this alleged defect.While conducting this investigation, odi found that the subject cinches meet the load bearing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 208, and that many of the reported failures were due to incorrect child safety seat installations. Additionally, the report rate is low (1.60/100k).The information available fails to establish the existence of a defect trend at this time.Further allocation of agency resources to this issue is unwarranted and the preliminary evaluation is being closed.

The airbag light came on and is staying on at all times. Also the horn does not work through the column.

Recently bought a 99 dodge neon. The instrument panel as whole works intermittently and oftentimes the speedometer doesn't work even when everything else. After doing some research i have found the the cold soders on the instrument panel are to blame, and are bad on most chrysler vehicles from this error. I feel this should be fixed by the manufacturer.

On 5/614, i noticed a shredded piece of plastic from a blue tarp was under my 1999 dodge neon. Apparently it had blown under the car by the wind. I pulled the plastic piece out from under my car, and in so doing i heard a distinct "twang" noise. Curious, i knelt down and peered under the car and was horrified to see one of the metal straps that holds the fuel tank up was broken due to corrosion. One section was hanging down several inches, but not long enough to reach the ground. There are two straps that hold the tank in place, the second strap is also significantly rusted but still appears to be intact with no apparent visible rust-through. I consider this to be a serious issue. If both straps let go there is nothing to hold the tank up which would result in the tank dropping to the road with the end result being an absolute disaster. If it wasn't for a wind blown, 3 foot long piece of shredded plastic getting snagged on my fuel tank strap, i most likely would never have known there to be a problem. I find it hard to believe this hasn't already happen to someone else. *tr

A 20" area on right-hand side between windshield and door window with mirror obstructing view from driver whose seat is forward because of height. *tr

I have a dodge neon which keeps stalling in traffic. It keeps blowing fuses. It is 1999 model. *tr

While driving the car, a strong smell of gasoline was noticed. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the fuel line into the fuel rail had developed several pin hole leaks. Gasoline was spraying out into the engine compartment. *nm

I purchased the car brand new and it currently has 44,000 miles. Engine now leaks large amounts of oil, so badly that i am adding 1-2 quarts 3 times a week. Problem was found to be the head gasket and estimates for repair range from 700-1200.00. How can such a large company scam so many innocent consumers and nothing be done???????*ak

1999 dodge neon sport - steering locks up under vehicle motion, seems to pull car to the side. Has happened on several occasions, the most recent causing an accident. While traveling on a clear, dry day at highway speed (55 mph+), a lane change from the right to passing lane was attempted. As the vehicle was steered into the left lane, the steering locked up, causing the car to jerk to the right. In an attempt to regain control of the car, the steering suddenly became unlocked, causing over correction. Now the vehicle was moving hard left, correction attempt back to the right caused vehicle to spin uncontrollably, crossing 2 lanes of traffic, leaving the roadway, passing between 2 metal light poles, and stopping in a ditch. No injuries, collisions with other vehicles or objects, or major vehicle damage occurred. Vehicle was removed from ditch by a tow-truck and was driven home. Check of the power steering system reveals full fluid level, belts seem tight, no obvious defects seen. Will have vehicle evaluated by mechanic asap. *jb

I have a 1999 dodge neon. I bought the car in may 2002 at bruce campbell dodge in redford, michigan. My sunroof went out in september 2002. After arguing with the service manager, they replaced the switch (or the wires). I have the powertrain extended warranty (added care). The next occurence (may, 2004) was when i kept hearing noise in my driver wheel area. I took my care to bruce campbell to check 3 times, they said there was nothing wrong. After the 3rd time, i took it to birmingham chrysler and asked them to look at it and they told me the cylinder was cracked. I was grateful that my warranty covered that problem (i was without my car for 2 weeks). I still have a tremble in my steering wheel when i reach the speeds of 50 to 70 mph. I have purchased new wheels, rims, and have had my tires rotated and balanced in may, 2004, but i still have issues with the trembling. I'm told that the car is supposed to drive that way. I've had a '93 plymouth colt that drove better. My 3rd occurence is now my sunroof has went out again. I just spent $70.00 at birmingham chrysler to diagnosis that the wire are broken and it'll cost my around $1,000 to fix it. My warranty covers sunroofs for switch problems, but not wiring. I don't have money to be spending on repairs when i have 3 more years of paying car notes. The reason i bought this particular car was because of the sunroof. I have had 3 chrysler cars and no break from repair shops. I need suggestions. *ak thank you.
