1997 Dodge Neon Highline review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alert!!! All Dodge Neon's have a known head gasket problem. If yours has not gone out, it will!! "The words" of four professional mechanics that looked at my 1997 Dodge Neon.
If you don't believe it look at other comments from other Neon owners, Dodge and Plymouth 1995 on.
My head gasket blew it's top @ 50,000 mi. Try and resell it, people see the residual oil. No thank you.
General comments?
Manufacturers need to fix the known problems and stop stealing from us.
