1995 Dodge Neon Sport Sedan review from North America
"Horrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Is there enough room for the list?
Recall on steering column.
Recall on back brake rotors.
Recall on something else (can't remember).
Had to replace coolant cap, ten minutes later the car overheated and found out it was a blown head gasket. Basically meaning a crack in the engine. This was at 79,000 miles. This never should happen to a car this early.
Everything inside is falling apart.
Exterior paint is already chipping.
The gas gauge does not work correctly. I have to time my miles so I don't run out of gas. The less gas I have, the closer the gas gauge moves to FULL. Duh!!
It rides awful because of the head gasket. It ruined my transmission. The dealer said the transmission was fine, however when a car can't catch its gear, something is wrong.
I have had the air conditioning worked on.
General comments?
This is the worst car ever made. I will tell anyone that. Don't ever buy a Neon... none the less a Dodge.
