1997 Dodge Neon SOHC - Coupe review from North America
"P.O.S. on wheels. Not worth piss to to put out a fire in it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lost head gasket @ 50k. Had to get it milled and total engine overhaul. $1600
Transmission broke 7 times during 'Service contract'. Now I'm out of contract.. and it is broken again. $600 estimate in hand.
Air Conditioning went @ 25k, 35k, and 50k.
This car was my first.. and last dodge.. hell.. Chrysler product. Never again. Run away. Run far far away. Buy something from japan.
