1996 Dodge Neon review from North America
"RIP OFF!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What hasn't gone wrong with it?
1. The paint it is almost completely peeled off.
2. Air conditioner fan just stopped working one day.
3. Brakes always squeal, even though they are brand new.
4. Steering column - took it in to get fixed I don't know how many times, and it still makes an awful noise.
5. Roof light always goes on when I'm driving on the freeway, and the door open light comes on.
6. The list is endless.
I have always taken care of my car, and paid a pretty penny when I bought it in early 1997. When the paint started peeling off, I went to the Dodge dealer where I bought it and they would just give me the run around and say it was my problem. That's because I bought the 100 thousand mile warranty and all the other extras, which I ended up paying close to $17,000.00 for the car when I was done paying for it.
I will NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY ANYTHING FROM DODGE AGAIN!!!
TO: Dodge Company/Manufacturers - THANKS FOR NOTHING!
