1997 Dodge Neon Highline review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My neon has been a very good little car with three big exceptions.
The first problem is a problem I find very scary there is an electrical problem which I have found in all of my friends neons. Lights flash on unexpected for example while driving at night one of my friends drives with the interior light on as it flashes on and off on her. In my car the whole dashboard flashes on and off.
I discovered gold black gold all over my drive way and it turned out to be a seal. Apparently there is a plastic seal that should be a medal one it is only a 50 cent part, but, can be very expensive to replace if it goes as all your oil drains out,
The last problem I discovered was that the trunk leaks which led me to name it after the skunk on Saturday morning cartoons. I managed to repair this myself, but, the doors also leak which has been more costly when I found a pool of water in the back seat. My sister also has the same car and her car did the same thing.
