Rear brake cylinders leaked at 20000. Defective seals.
Automatic transmission stopped shifting at 54000. Defective seals. Costly.
"Check engine" light came on frequently after car started and run 2 minutes or less.
Sunroof track broke. Was seldom used.
Engine oil leak at 70000. Copious now. Mechanic says looks like head gasket.
The dealership has been responsive, at least I thought so until I read the other reviews. Dealer helped me get some relief on the transmission repairs. I really thought that Dodge should have paid the entire bill.
I tried ordering new track for the sunroof three months ago- it never arrived.
The engine oil leak has me totally disgusted with Dodge- especially after I read here that no-one has been successful in getting Dodge support.
I was thinking of buying a Stratus; it's not an option now!
This person has described the EXACT same problems I've had with my 1998 Dodge Neon R/T. I will not even consider a Chrysler made product again because of this car.
I haven't heard any complaints about the stratus, and I know for a fact that the intrepid, and sebring are very nice vehicles, although I do agree the neon seems to lack in what you might call...everything.
