1998 Dodge Neon review from North America
"Based on this experience, I will never purchase a Dodge car again."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the brakes.
I had to replace the starter. This was covered under my warranty.
I had to replace the battery. This was covered under my warranty.
My sunroof stopped working.
My oil leaks.
My trunk leaks. This results in my car smelling like mildew after it rains.
My air conditioning stopped working.
General comments?
This car has proven to be an unreliable money pit. I have invested well over a thousand dollars in repairs into the car.
The car has stranded me at the airport and at a gas station - both very late at night. As a single women, I found this very disconcerting
The leak in my trunk has caused a serious mildew smell in my car after several days of rain. Consequently, I am embarrased to have people in my car.
