1995 Dodge Neon Powertrain (other) Problems

THE PCM ON MY 1995 DODGE NEON WAS REPLACED ON JUNE 16, 1994, 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. DONE BY JAY CHEVROLET/GEO/DODGE IN ISLAND PARK, NY. MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING ON ME AND SHUTTING DOWN OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. I SPENT OVER $4000 TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED AND THE CAR STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. I WANT MY CAR CHECKED COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. IT HAS ONLY 110K AND IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR SINCE DAY ONE. MY BROTHER IS A MECHANIC IN OCEANSIDE, NY AND HAS BEEN MY MECHANIC SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW UP UNTIL I MOVED TO PHOENIX, AZ AND ALL THE MECHANICS I'VE USED HERE CAN'T FIX MY CAR. THIS IS UNFAIR IF THE PROBLEM IS THE PCM AGAIN. THE CAR HAD COMPLETE DIAGNOSTICS DONE BY 3 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PCM DOES NOT SHOW IN DIAGNOSTICS. P.S. I FILLED OUT MY PERSONAL INFO WITH MY CURRENT ADDRESS BUT WILL BE MOVING ON MAY 12, 2018 TO: 21220 N. 23RD AVE PHOENIX AZ 85027

1)INSTRUMENT GAUGES WORK SPORADICALLY: SPEEDOMETER FAILS MOST NOT REPORTING ANY SPEED, OR STICKING AT LAST LOCATION. TACHOMETER FAILS SAME WAY, AND ON OCCASION ALL GAUGES STICK AT CURRENT POSITION. 2) EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS: BRAKES LIGHTS REMAIN ON/DO NOT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN AFTER CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF COMPLETLY. I'VE FOUND THEM STILL ON AFTER SEVERAL HOURS (NO OTHER LIGHTS ON) 3) LEFT TURN SIGNAL: FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES ON. 4) CAR STEREO: STEREO/TAPE PLAYER STOPPED WORKING. CLOCK DOES NOT COME ON, NOTHING. IT DOES LIGHT UP WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS BUT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. 5) WAS REAR-ENDED IN MVA AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

MY CAR HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING SINCE I HAD IT; BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WPULD ALWAYS SAY IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT WHEN IT WASN'T. I CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT THREE TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, I WAS TOLD ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR THAT WAS EXISTING BEFORE IT RAN OUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AND SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD ( NOT EXHAUST VALVES) BUT I AM TOLD THE HEAD GASKET BLEW OUT, AND THAT THIS HAPPENED WITH ALOT OF NEONS. ALSO THE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKS RIGHT AROUND 60K MILES WHICH IS WHEN I STARTED HAVING OIL PROBLEMS. MY CAR OVERHEATS IN WARM WEATHER ,MOSTLY WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC AND I HAVE TO CUT THE HEAT ON UNTIL I START MOVING. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAN MALFUNCTIONING, BUT AGAIN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT, WHICH IT WASN'T. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I HAD THE CAR. IF THIS HAPPENS WITH ALOT OF NEONS I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *AK
