Yes I have a 2001 dodge neon and when I drive it will just quit on me, when it quits on me, there are no headlights ,nothing. But when the car quits I can get out and play with the postive cable wire and everything comes back on. I have taken my car into the dodge company here in red bluff and chico and they could not find the cause of promblem. This is a problem to me... I put the start date below and this problem happens sometimes everyday or every other day.
