1998 Dodge Neon Sedan review from North America
"When one thing goes wrong it is down hill from there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 115000.
The fan relay fuse went bad at 89000. It cost $65 to $75 for the fuse. Please do not let the dealership do it, because they will charge $75 or more a hour for labor. The was at least 2 hours.
The brakes squeak.
Around 75000 miles a mildew scent arose in the car. I am not how the trunk would leak water into the car.
General comments?
I love the look of dodge/ chrysler vehicles, but my next car or truck will be an import.
