NHTSA complaint #10032054, filed 2003-09, 59,214 miles“When attempting to have all NHTSA issued safety recalls completed on my vehicle service repair center manager. Stated they only applied to certain NEON's not all of the 2000's. I have yet as of this date been able to accomplish NHTSA recall id#99v043000, #99v114000 nor have I ever received the addendum referred to in NHTSA recall id #00v366000. In recognition of the recent problems experienced w/my vehicle, overheating, inoperable driver side window, horn & airbag system and my having also experienced brake problems, I feel these recalls are essential. …”
NHTSA complaint #10013719, filed 2003-03“I was driving down the road, came to a complete stop to allow a vehicle with a blow out to get off the road. I started to accelerate, looked at the car with the blow out and apparently a truck in front of me felt the same way because when I looked up he had come to a stop and I couldn't stop before hitting him. I was going 15 MPH. My air bags didn't deploy. I didn't even scratch the other vehicle but within seconds a fire started coming out where the windshield wipers were, in a matter of minutes my car was enguled. The front of my car had little damage but the fire engulfed the rest.”
