1995 Dodge Neon Sport Coupe review from North America
"A piece of unreliable garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From the beginning.
The main bearing/head gasket went at 178000km.
The paint has been chipping off the side of the car since spring.
Air Conditioning doesn't work anymore.
Ignition Coil died.
Fuel pump and filter required.
Water Pump, Timing belt, and possible engine damage were my most recent problem and it also is going to need new oxygen sensors soon.
General comments?
The car is great to drive when it is performing normal but over the last two months this car has gone straight downhill as for repairs and performance.
Every time I want to take a trip out of town the car breaks down and I'm stranded and it's always serious problems never something simple.
The local Chrysler dealer has been no help at all and I would never buy another Chrysler product even if it was the last car on the planet. They are nothing but a hassle and an expense.
$2300 in the last two months to be exact. I only paid $4300 for the car in the first place.
