1995 Dodge Neon Base review from North America
"Very Fast! Great Style!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Horn needed to be replaced.
Radiator cap and thermostat needed to be replaced.
Water gets into trunk, then leaks into the backseat.
Very bad transmission fluid leak at 109,000. Had it fixed 3 times.
Radiator fans were possessed. Never turned on when they were suppose to, which leaded to overheating. Were fixed 5 times, finally I just wired them directly to the battery.
Wind noise due to frame-less doors.
Yellow and faded headlights. I cleaned them using a Headlight Restoration kit. They are clear now!
Water drips out of the heater core onto the passenger side floor board after heavy rain.
Check Engine light came on for a "Power steering pressure sensor"
Power steering pump makes humming noises when you turn the wheel, need to replace the power steering fluid to solve this problem.
Ciggarette lighter recently blew a fuse.
Oil lights comes on when making sharp left turns.
Battery terminals need to be cleaned often.
A/C blows warm air no matter how many times you recharge it. Must have a leak somewhere.
Brakes screech after heavy rain.
ABS doesn't work well.
Could handle better.
General comments?
GAS SAVER!
Very fast!
I love speeding with this car, you can get away with it!
I raced Chargers, Cavaliers, Civics...I've always won!
Car has style!
I LOVE THIS CAR! I would buy another one!
They should have NEVER stopped making the Neon.
