1998 Chrysler Neon Sport review from North America

Exhaust Manifold Gasket need warranty work at 9000km.

Needed the same work again at 15000km.

Stock Eagle GA's need to be replaced at 3000km. Horrible wear for low performance tires.

Doors creak very badly despite lubrication starting at 15000KM.

Exhaust rattles against subframe.

Front Rotors warped and needed to be replaced at 40000KM. Every Dodge I have ever owned (4 in total) had this problem.

Plug Wires bad at 35000. Dealer tried to charge me before I took it to another dealer that replaced under warranty.

Plugs were fouled before their time. Dealer wanted over $50 to replace them. Bought plugs and had them replaced for less than $25.

Head Gasket gone at 50000. typical problem. No coverage, but dealer replaced it no charge labour due to the common occurance of the problem.

60000KM sunroof will not open.

70000 km exhaust manifold warped. Dealer wanted to replace it, but I had it machined and repaired at another mechanic.

Now bushings in front suspension are gone. Also motor mounts and belts are prematurely worn.

Decent power from the twin cam 150 HP engine.

Came loaded with everything, but cruise control for a decent price.

They must put these things together with bubble gum. Horrible quality on every part of the car. I cannot belive that these parts would wear out so quickly on what was basically a brand new car.

Coverage needs to be about 6 years long to head off all the problems. Service at dealers has been rude and very poor quality work.

Do NOT buy one of these cars used. You will regret every minute of it.
