2001 Dodge Neon SE from North America - Comments

"Just as bad as a"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

20,000 miles; replaced battery (under warranty)

20,000 miles; recall for brake booster hose

27,000 miles; idling drops to below normal and makes the car behave like it's going to stall. This is an ongoing problem and the dealer doesn't notice the problem when I take it to them. I've given up with trying to get this fixed.

31,000 miles; water leaking into the driver side foot area from above the break pedal through the dash board. This is not covered under warranty and there is no rust any where to lead to this problem.

General comments?

Overall, the car drives well and is fairly efficient, but not as efficient as my 1988 Jetta that was replaced with this Neon. The dealers are of no help, they just like to take $100.00 every time the car is in the shop. I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone, nor would I purchase another Chrysler product again.

Chevy has duds, so can Chrysler.

And to the comment above, Chrysler owns Dodge, Jeep, etc.

I don't know who told you this isn't covered by the warranty, but at 31,000 or less than 36 months EVERYTHING is covered. I'm assuming it had more than 36 months of use on it at the time??
