1997 Dodge Neon review from North America

Pure Junk!! 1997 Neon 147,000km, Automatic.

Head Gasket Gone, Oil in Radiator.

3rd Alternator installed, still not getting any power to Battery!! Car Only running off battery!! New Wire Harness, Battery, Alternator, No One can Fix!!!

First gear slips first 10-20 min in morning, transmission fluid topped up!!!

Every change in gear, 1st-2nd-3nd there is a squeak!!

Clunks Hard from 1st to 2nd gear!!!

Overheats, both front fans don't work, one works sometimes.

Engine idles up and down, new sensor, didn't work!!!

Passenger side and driver side door locks broken!!!

Replaced ball joints, upper and inner tire rod ends, everything, and still hits the bumps like a tank!!!

Constantly out of alignment, always replacing tires, can't fix!!!

No interior Lights work, dome light, cigarette light, floor light, hood light, trunk light, all lights replaced, fuses good, but still no lights work at all!!!

All windows squeak loud when rolled up or down.

Can't get rear speakers to work at all, tried everything accept replace radio!!

Floor of car always wet, even if no rain for days!!!

Hood will never shut properly, scared to drive on highway, always popping up!!!

Windshield wipers about to fall off, from the link, not just the wipers.

Rear defrost won't work, but fuse OK!!

The whole car has electrical problems, in every single area!!

Still many, many, many more little problems, too much to list!!

BOUGHT FOR $3000, SO FAR SPENT SPENT $3000 IN REPAIRS, STILL WON'T RUN RIGHT, PROBABLY GOING TO SCRAP, TOO MANY PROBLEMS, POINTLESS TO SPEND ANY MORE!!! STAY AWAY FROM THESE CARS!!

Basically, this is the worst car I've ever bought. it's now sitting at my cabin, while I stay in town saving up for another car. the repair estimates run over $5000.00 and I can't sell it to anyone. I need a head gasket, and transmission rebuild, just to start, and there's no point in getting this done because I've been to 5 garage's, all professionals, and no one can fix my alternator/battery problem. the battery just won't charge at all, even after 3 new alternators, and a new wire harness!! I just can't understand why there is so many problems with this car, and even the cars manufacturer can fix its own problems!!! I just want everyone to know that huge problems come with these cars, buyers beware!! and if anyone knows what might be wrong with my battery not charging up, please respond to my comments, it would really help out. the developers of this car should be ashamed. there is not one thing good about this car. it is sad when people spend so much time and money in a car like this, and can never drive it. my car is a 1997, always at the dealer, and should not have so many problems.
