2001 Dodge Neon ES review from North America
"I wouldn't wish this on anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat belt broke before the recall was issued.
Lifters and rocker arms have already been replaced, (luckily under warranty). The dealer had no answer as to why this happened to such a young car.
Brake booster recall.
It has stalled once, leaving me stuck in rush hour traffic, it started about 10 minutes later.
It has a constant brake squeal, no matter what season or what type of brake pads. As well as seemingly decreased braking ability in emergency situations.
General comments?
The only good thing I can say about this vehicle is that it came with a nice stereo system.
