1996 Dodge Neon review from North America

Head gasket blew at 130000.

Break master cylinder leak at 95000.

Fuel leak.

Interior dashboard virtually in-operational.

Speedometer only works on a good day.

Fuel gauge in-operational.

Radiator fell apart (yeah, fell apart).

Stuff inside the car fell apart, such as dashboard, and the panel on the inside of the door.

Windows leak.

Defroster is absolute garbage, must drive with windoews cracked 3 inches to avoid fogging during rain.

AC in-operational.

Replaced all belts, repeatedly.

Various sensors, hoses, and cables have had to be replaced.

Spark plug wires shorted out.

Transmission literally sputters out when shifting from 1st to 2nd.

Trunk seal leaks.

Check engine light stays on, despite the fact that nothing else on the dashboard does. Once the speedometer and fuel gauge quit, so did the mile reading.

Steering wheel shakes!!

Headlight seals wear easily, as do all other weather seals.

Paint falls off in sheets, used faulty primer that year.

The key to the trunk no longer works, you simply have to kick it repeatedly and swear a lot.

Interior fabric wears bad, especially the ceiling fabric. It touches my head when I drive.

Amazingly, this car last me 3 years. I'm glad I only paid $2000 for it, too bad I probably spent more than that on general repairs.

To its credit, the car did last me SEVERAL trips back and forth between Illinois and Kentucky.

I would reccommend this car to no one.
