1997 Dodge Neon Highline Sport review from North America
"This car makes me cry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
While under 30,000 mile warranty, head gasket failed and was replaced. Thermostat was replaced 3 times.
Got two new radiators.
Entire transmission replaced.
Then my warranty expired.
Paint is just about gone.
Keyless entry system failed--dealership wouldn't replace because they said I had owned keyless system for more than five years (it was 1999?!)
Cooling system has failed-water pump leaks, major overheating.
Doesn't start anymore.
