Dodge Neon Highliner
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Neon Highliner | | | General comments: | CHRYSLER NEON NOT RECOMMENDED!An automatic transmission failure at 10,000 miles is inexcuseable!The mechanical grief I have experienced with this new car is not worth its cheaper price!I should have paid the extra money and bought an import… Toyota or Subaru.Biggest overall problem is Daimler-Chrysler's poor quality control, especially the powertrain.Disappointing, since the Japanese imports blow Chrysler out of the water in this regard!Chrylser Canada refused help with the transmission… in writing!Shame on you Daimler-Chrysler! | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Automatic transmission failure at 10,000 miles! Dealer has overhauled twice on 2 different occasions. Still has intermittant shifting problems. Dealer can't seem to get it right.Neutral safety switch oil seal leaks.Both rear brake wheel cylinders leak.Noisey on highway, engine and windnoise.Trunk water leaks. Trunk lid will not stay up.Front brakes squeal loudly cold and | | | Previous car: | I tested Corolla: very nice but very expensive by comparison.I tested Cavalier, very nice but interior much smaller by comparison. Harsher ride, too.I tested Subaru Brighton Wagon. This was by far the best choice, but way to expensive… about $5000 more! |
