Dodge Neon Rt
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Neon Rt | | | General comments: | I have 110,000 miles on her and she is still going strong. Unlike most people I have changed the oil every 3,000 miles and did all the work on her myself. I have gone through 3 sets of tires and at 89,000 miles I finally had to do the front brakes. There are new struts done at 85,000 miles, and I have yet to replace the timing belt and water pump which the owners manual says to do every sixty thousand miles. I am very pleased with the car. I installed the racing clutch and aluminum flywheel at 92,000 miles (the old one was still working) and have the screaming demon coil and spark plug wires. The car quit on me on the way to work last week and I took it to autozone to read the code, they told me it was the camshaft sensor. I consulted my old freind from the dodge dealer on how to proceed. He told me that if the camshaft sensor is bad to go ahead and replace the crankshaft sensor also. Something about them being on the same circuit and if one goes the other can't be far behind. This is the main reason that I posted this review is to tell you all if your neon is quitting on you for no apparenty no reason...... replace the cam and crank sensors. After I did the job the quitting stopped so that must've been the reason. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Everyone I know has had trouble with the head gasket, I haven't. Probably cuz I bought mine so late in 98. If you do have head gasket trouble, daimler chrysler will foot the bill for the job to the tune of all paid but 150.00 dollars
so don't let the service manager think you have to pay for it all yourself. You
don't the factory defect is covered almost no matter what the mileage. Like I said don't let the service manager rape you. Daimler Chrysler is standing behind your product for you. | | | Previous car: | 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan. |
