2001 Dodge Neon ES review from North America
"Nice on the outside, but a lot of Internal problems!! Do not buy!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had numerous problems with this car. The tires need to be replaced approximately every 15,000 miles as well as the brakes.
At 5,000 they had to put a brake hose because of a recall.
At 22,000 it had problems with the power windows.
At 25,000 the battery went out.
At 32,000 the power windows went out again.
At 36,000 the air conditioning went out.
At 47,000 It had problems whenever I put it in reverse it would jerk real bad.
At 54,500 the car wouldn't start we believe it is the battery.
As well as the windows are again having problems.
General comments?
The car is kept in good shape, but the tires and brakes are always needing to be replaced. I paid to have an alignment, but the tires are still wearing in a weird way to the point that we are replacing them every 15,000 miles or so.
