Dodge Neon
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Neon | | | General comments: | I bought this car used with 134,000 km. It was only $6000 3 years ago and I needed a car. When I drove it off the lot, the transmission went out. The garage replaced it free of charge ( warranty ). It has been somewhat realiable but cost me a few in the summer. I had to put a new alternator and it costed $500. Then in the winter, when I put on the defroster, this sreaching sound like came out. I took it to the dodge dealer and they told me that my belt was gone. So, it costed me 30 dollars and I thought it was going away. Guess what, it didn't! I took it back and they told me it was my head gasket and it would cost me $ 1200. I said " no way " because the car is not worth a bloody dime. So, I decided to take it back to that garage. I always trusted the garage but I had my doubt about this one. The garage people told me that there was a bolt missing in the alternator. The screaching sound was caused by there wasn't enough current and it was using a lot of power. That bolt would regulate the power. It would cost 70 bucks. IT WORKED!!!! The sound is gone and the garage told me that the gasket is fine. So, if you are interested with the car, make sure you can trust the dealer. I saved 1100 dollars. THANK GOD!! The car is reliable and I usually take it for an oil change every 4000 km. I do reccomened this to teenagers. They will love the sporty style and power and the INSURANCE!!!The 4 star is for the dealer. They are good sometimes but can be very rude at times or give false accuzations. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Lack of power, choppy ride and its a DODGE | | | Previous car: | Pontiac Sunbird ( Better ) |
