2002 Chrysler Neon LE review from North America
"The 2002 neon is not my cup of tea"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car was purchased in november of 2005 rear suspension clunk was heard after 2 weeks of ownership.
Front suspension clunking, new strut mounts were needed
plug wires and new plugs a short time later.
Now experiencing hesitation and "bucking"
Somedays it has great power and performance
other days it needs a "pep talk" to get moving.
A/C let go 2000kms after purchase.
Wheel bearing last week.
General comments?
This car is basically the old neon with a new outer shell,
carries over a lot of the poor qualities of the older car such as noisy front ends, constant parts replacement, also just simply unrelaible.
The only thing I like is the gas mileage which I get roughly 42mpg.
Surely not worth the 7900$ I've paid for it.
Service is terrible at the dealer, its as if they are avoiding me when I go there for help.
