1996 Dodge Neon Highline review from North America
"What a worthless car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket.
Dash electronics.
Sometimes will not start.
Loud engine.
Turn signals went out.
General comments?
My girlfriend bought this car even though I told her DO NOT buy a Chrylser product. I told her to buy a Honda. But she bought the car and what a pile of crap! It's put together cheaply, things rattle, sometimes things don't work, then the next day they will. I can't believe Chrysler put a three speed automatic in this car also! She's now waiting for the tranny to go out, since there is a problem with that too. She now regrets buying anything from this company. When trying to trade, no dealership even wants the car. We took it to a Honda dealership and they just about laughed at us! I think she learned her lesson and if she can dump it cheap, she will and buy Japanese.
