2003 Dodge Neon SXT review from North America
"LEMON!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starting below 10,000 miles I had premature brake problems and the dealer kept telling me there was nothing wrong, just waiting for the warranty to expire.
Starting at about 15,000 miles the Solenoid transmission pack cracked and leaked causing horrible shifting and accelerating problems. Replaced 7 times and transmission replaced completely. Solenoid recently cracked again causing leaking and transmission itself also leaking again.
I have had electrical problems and other misc. problems.
General comments?
If you have thousands of dollars you don't want, love horrible customer service and don't need a means of transportation, this is the perfect car for you!
