1995 Dodge Neon sport coupe 2 door review from North America

"The one and only car that should not exist on earth"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Both head gaskets are gone top and bottom as soon as I got it. Water pump was gone had to be replaced with the timing belt. Constantly leaking oil went to the dealer told me they'll fix it for me for 1000$ dollars told them couldn't do it. Ever since I got this car I had a problem with stalling stuttering and occasionally will turn off on any given day. First thought needs to be tuned correctly so I changed the spark plugs and air, fuel filters PCV valve etc. But no change. Took it to a local mechanic shop, they told me that it needs the fuel line cleaned cost me 90$ bucks, but no results what a waste of Benjamin. The problem grew worst with time being my side, I just couldn't help it, then I took it to this guy who supposedly a mechanic took off the {EGA) SELENOID VALVE, and he cleaned it and put the stuff back, but didn't do anything. So I went back to him and not to mention pay the gye 100$ dollars the last time and He says well let's check the fuel pump and he said it'll cost me a great deal again so I thought enough is enough. Took it to the dealer who supposedly makes this junk cars and I after paying them another Benjamin 100$ dollars they said it was the throttle body sensor and same old EGA selenoid {B.S} got the stuff from local retail supplier and replaced all the goodies supposed to be new didn't help so now I run out of option what am I to do? not to mention those above items cost a lot what a rip off these cars are my worst nightmares what a deal I got in my hands all above items are just the portion aff all my sin that put back in the car as soon as I got it changed the all shock absorbers and springs changed the tires new sealed the top gasket looking back I've spent more than 1500$ dollars on this peace of junk, got the car from my friends in laws for 3000$ dollars, but now it's price tag exceeding over 4500$ for this junk not to mention countless hours of job absences because of this cars problems cause it'll just sit in the drive way now.Oh by the way dealer told me they'll fix the above problem for 1200$ which I can't afford so as you can imagine I ran out of option no one seems to know where the problem lays even seasoned mechanic not even the dealer all my salary and countless hours of going door to door to every mechanic is in shambles. What a waste of effort time and money.

General comments?

I would never in my life will buy a car from Dodge and I 'm very dissapointed the way the car is made and all the people who are looking to buy decent vehicle please go with Japanese cars they are much reliable and great bang for the buck all my friends have japanese cars and they pass me like there is no tommorow I in the other hand stranded with my car scratching my head thinking countless hours what the problem is I can't even take out my girlfriend to a movie thinking in what street light it will stop on me and embarrass myself and my girlfriend in front of thousands of motorists. Read all the review in this column about Neons and I bet you, you will find none encouraging, go read Honda's you'll find lot better encouraging words of wisdom and everybody is happy, but not here these cars just should not exist on earth. Thank you for reading my little story I know you find this story of mine disappointing, but truth should be told.Thanks.
