The enviable Neon price does not outweigh the price of repairs, let alone the price of reliability.

1996 Dodge Neon review from North America

"The car is a cheap piece of CRAP!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

There is an awful burning smell coming from the a/c.

It has a major radiator leak; after running hot a few times, the leak somehow stopped and now oil is filling my radiator.

The car now has a major oil leak as well. I have to put in a quart of oil per day. When I test to see how much oil by using the dipstick, the dipstick returns dry (I just put the quart of oil in it). Where is the oil? In the radiator and on the ground!

When it rains, water enters the trunk and now there is a funky mildew smell.

The speedometer works when it wants. There are times when none of the gauges work.

There is some type of shortage going on because the interior lights will come on only when the passenger door and back doors are open. When the driver side door is open, I can hear only a clicking sound and the light does not come on.

When I am at a stop sign it does not seem to want to move.

General comments?

The car has a lot of major problems, but somehow it continues to crank.

I will never purchase another Dodge Neon in my life. The only reason being was because it was sold to me at a very, very cheap price.

I should have known something would go wrong for the price for which I purchased it.

I did not want this car when I purchased it, I was looking for a Honda, but got stuck with a NEON.
