2002 Dodge Neon ES review from North America
"Cute car, not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine makes loud clunking noise since purchased.
There was electrical failure and the car died and I had to replace battery at 35,000 miles.
The car has had numerous cabin squeaks since I bought it.
Replaced spark plug coil 46,000 miles.
Transmission failure 46,000 miles.
It jerks really hard when accelerating and braking.
This car isn't reliable, even though we've done all required maintenance on it since time of purchase.
General comments?
It's a cute car, for a good price, but you get what you pay for.
