1995 Dodge Neon review from North America
"There is not enough sugar in the world to sweeten this lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The trunk leaks, radio never worked, replaced entire fuel tank and fuel system. This was necessitated by a gasket failure which allowed coolant to back flow into the fuel system, destroying the fuel pump, radiator, hoses and everything else between the gasket and the exhaust pipe.
I put over 1700.00 into repairs and thought that the car would be reliable transportation for my son. He has had the car for 2 years and has had to put approximately 3,000.00 more into it to keep it running.
It gets to the point that you think, "I have completely rebuilt this thing", and then something else happens.
This morning he was left stranded with no head lights. First week on the best job he has ever had and this piece of dung failed again.
I will never buy another Dodge vehicle. Too bad the engineers who designed the outside, forgot to put anything of value on the inside.
General comments?
If I had read this message board before buying, I would have run from this vehicle...
And the Chrysler company's refusal to deal with a mass produced lemon shows their irresponsibility and lack of commitment to their customers.
