2000 Plymouth Neon Body & Structure Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 200 PLYMOUTH NEON. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOWERED TO THE GROUND AND BOTH FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT. THE CONTACTED CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO DETERMINED THAT THE JACK WENT THROUGH THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

PUDDLES OF WATER IN THE REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AFTER A RAINFALL. I HAVE PUT NOVEMBER 5, 2004 BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. *JB

THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST FORMING ON THE UNIBODY STRUCTURE BEHIND THE FRONT FRAME SUPPORT THAT SPANS THE WIDTH OF THE CAR. LARGE PIECES OF FLAKING METAL ARE COMING OFF AND THERE ARE HOLES THROUGH THE METAL. I FEAR THE INTEGRATY AND THE STREANGTH OF THE BODY IS BEING WEAKENED.*AK

THERE IS LEAKAGE OF WATER IN THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE AFTER IT RAINS OR AFTER A CAR WASH. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY THERE IS A KNOCKING AND VIBRATION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHEN LOCKING DOOR WITH ALARM OR MANUALLY, DOORS WILL UNLOCK RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT A REASON. *AK

STATIC ELECTRICITY VERY SHARP WHEN LEAVING VEHICLE. SO, HAVE LEARNED TO NOT TOUCH METAL WHEN EXITING VEHICLE, BUT THIS BECOMES A PROBLEM WHEN I THEN GO TO OPEN GAS TANK, ESP WHEN HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. I HAVE ATTACHED A GROUND STRAP WHICH HAS NOT SOLVED PROBLEM. ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS TO SPRAY SEATS WITH ANTI STATIC, BUT THAT WEARS OFF. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM, DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND THERE IS NO TECH SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER. I AM AFRAID OF SPARKING THE GAS FUMES ONE DAY, BUT ALSO AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING AFRAID OF TOUCHING THE DOOR AS THE SPARK IS SIGNIFICANT AND FEELS LIKE A [XXX] NEEDLE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. MY FATHER ALSO BOUGHT AN IDENTICAL CAR AND HAS SAME PROBLEM. HE WEARS GLOVES ALL THE TIME FOR A HEALTH PROBLEM BUT WHEN HE DOES NOT HAVE THEM ON HE GETS THE SAME SHOCK AND IT JOLTS. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO MEASURE IT, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE TAKING OFF YOUR T SHIRT AT NIGHT AND WATCHING THE SPARKS, THIS ONE HURTS. [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE WIPING THE REAR WINDOW NOTICED WATER ON BACK SEAT AND ON FLOOR OF VEHICLE. CONSUMER PULLED SPAR TIRE OUT, AND NOTICED MOLD AND WATER UNDER TIRE IN TRUNK. *AK

ANTIFREEZE IS POOLING IN THE REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FLOOR, NOT COMING FROM THE TRUNK OR FROM INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. BUT FLOORBOARD RUGS ARE SOAKED WITH ANTIFREEZE.*AK
