1997 Dodge Neon SE review from North America
"I will never buy another Dodge Neon nor would I recommend one to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two weeks after I got it I had to put a new battery into it.
Two months after I got it the starter went out. That was a $500 repair.
The speedometer only works sometimes.
The left turn signal got jammed and lights up when I step on the brakes.
The car lighter has never worked.
The transmission is going out, it kind of stalls while I'm driving and it's automatic!
I've had the car for almost 2 years and I've already put over $2,000.00 worth of repairs into it.
General comments?
The material of the seats seems to be holding up pretty well.
