1997 Dodge Neon review from North America
"Total crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew a few months ago and now I think the same thing happen today.
If I have to, I will go to court about this known problem. I am a college student and I do not have the money to get this fixed.
My gears are starting to slip, mostly 2nd and reverse.
Gas mileage is starting to go downhill and the rising gas prices are not helping me at all.
General comments?
I would not give this car to my worst enemy.
