1998 Dodge Neon review from Mexico
"Little car - BIG mistake!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump.
Head gasket (5).
Power sunroof.
Power door locks.
Power windows.
Heater Core.
Radio (2).
Car averged going to the dealer every 2.5 months.
Several different electrical sensors.
General comments?
I do NOT advise anyone to buy a Neon or any Dodge product. I did not get any help from the dealer or from the manufacturer with the problems I had. It would take an average of three trips to the dealer to get just one problem corrected. I traded the car after 2 years of spending my off days at the Dodge dealer. I traded it for a 2000 Ford ZX2 that has not been back to the dealer since I drove it away.
