Haloneopentanes do not undergo SN1 or SN2 nucleophilic substitution, but they do react by the SRN1 (substitution, radical-nucleophilic, first order) mechanism.

The SRN1 Mechanism as a Route to Nucleophilic Substitution on Alkyl Halides. Roberto A. Rossi, Adriana B. Pierini and Sara M. Palacios; J. Chem. Ed., 66, 720-722 (1989)
