1992 Dodge Shadow ES review from North America
"Even God himself couldn't save this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got this car I had to replace the head gasket.
The car has 5 rust holes in the body; 1 on the hood, 2 under the trunk, 1 under the back seat, 1 under the drivers side.
The car will not go up a minor hills past 25.
Both doors are crooked when closed.
Right brake light never works even thought it has been repaired 2 times already.
General comments?
The car clanks and clunks when making turns.
It tilts almost to the point of scrapping when making a turn.
The car automatically revs itself when in park.
The hatch has to be held up by a 2x4 piece of wood.
The car spends more time in the auto shop than on the road.
I have already put 3 times as much money into the car to get it running than I spent on it.
Everything, but the engine and the transmission has been replaced and it still won't run properly.
