1998 Dodge Neon R/T review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The reverse fell out of the thing 2 days after I got it.
The sunroof got stuck open, the ignition went out at 6,000!
The manufacturer's tape deck went crazy.
The head gasket is messed up and the brakes are scrubbing at only 22,965 miles!
General comments?
This car is awful, I have never had another car have this many problems from new, never and the service at Dodge is unbelieveably rude! I have had them tell me it was my imagination that my reverse in my tranny went out - things like that. They don't want to fix anything that is supposed to be under warranty, another thing is I paid extra for a so called Racer Neon that isn't anything but a junk pile with the A/C. I'm lucky if I can even keep up with traffic.
I would not recommend anyone buying a Dodge unless you want plenty of problems, the day I traded my 90" Accord for this thing was the worse mistake of my life!
