Dodge Neon
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Neon | | | General comments: | I've always been a fan of smaller, sportier cars, but I was also looking for a four door. The Dodge Neon turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.
My waranty ran out at 36,000 miles -- my head gasket blew at 38,000. I refused to pay the $500+ that Frontier Dodge wanted to fix it, so instead I drove a practically new car around for three four years that leaked about a quart of oil a week. It didn't BURN oil, it LEAKED it - in my driveway, in the street, everywhere I parked it.
In July of 2001 I took the car back to Frontier Dodge and took a pile of printouts that I had gathered from the internet about the head gasket problem. Frontier Dodge installed a new head gasket FREE OF CHARGE - that's right, no charge for parts or labor.
The other day I took my '95 Neon to the carwash and a quarter-sized chunk of paint came off. After closer inspection, I have found three places now missing paint. I searched the web again and see I'm not the only one with this problem. We'll see what Frontier Dodge has to say about this ...
If you see a Neon cheap, be VERY WARY, as you may be looking at some expensive repair bills right up front. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | The head gasket going pissed me off. I hit a bump once and 4 of the 6 speakers quit working. I put in a new radio and guess what, it DIDN'T FIX IT, I guess the problems in the wiring somewhere (sigh). The paint coming off in chunks is a bit of a turn-off. I actually have very few complaints about this car -- it's just that the ones that I do have are kind of major I suppose. | | | Previous car: | Ford Escort, Geo Tracker, Honda Civic, etc. |
