1999 Dodge Neon review from North America
"My bicycle is more reliable and cheaper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two days after purchase, the horn flew down the highway.
Three weeks after purchase, a shroud came off on the interstate.
Six weeks later, blown head gasket, and struts on both sides were leaking.
Constantly the check engine light is on.
The head gasket went out again after 1000 miles.
General comments?
I have battled with the car company on these problems. It seems they received their money and are not worried about the customer!
I wish I could "brag" on the car company, but my attorney advised me not to.
