1999 Dodge Neon R/T review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
@ 3500 miles, check engine light. Code corresponded to an EGR system failure. Cleared the code by disconnecting the battery. Check engine light and code did not reoccur.
@ 10000 miles, driver's power window began making a pop/squeaking noise going down.
@ 15000 miles, sunroof makes light 'pop' when opening.
General comments?
This car has been relatively trouble-free and is a blast to drive. It handles/corners quite well and is pretty quick. The shifter is slightly notchy and the lever is a bit on the long side. The original equipment Goodyear Eagle RS-A's have worn pretty well (now at 24000 miles) and have pretty good grip in the wet.
