mechanic says I need new radiator and transmission and high pressure lines?..I didn't run over anything, didn't hit a curb or even a pot hole..what could have caused this to suddenly happen?..I did put it in the ditch this past winter, 4 months ago, and had to towed out..could this have caused stress on the fitting and radiator?
Does anyone have any answers or is this a common Neon problem?
