1998 Dodge Neon R/T from North America - Comments

The reverse fell out of the thing 2 days after I got it.

The sunroof got stuck open, the ignition went out at 6,000!

The manufacturer's tape deck went crazy.

The head gasket is messed up and the brakes are scrubbing at only 22,965 miles!

This car is awful, I have never had another car have this many problems from new, never and the service at Dodge is unbelieveably rude! I have had them tell me it was my imagination that my reverse in my tranny went out - things like that. They don't want to fix anything that is supposed to be under warranty, another thing is I paid extra for a so called Racer Neon that isn't anything but a junk pile with the A/C. I'm lucky if I can even keep up with traffic.

I would not recommend anyone buying a Dodge unless you want plenty of problems, the day I traded my 90" Accord for this thing was the worse mistake of my life!

I have a 98 RT and the sun-roof got stuck open on mine too. I also had to have the AC compressor replaced at the same time. Other than a new set of tires at 22,000 (burned them all the time) the car has run great.

I have a 1998 Neon RT and the sun roof got stuck open and had to be closed by the dealership. Now it does not work at all!

I have a 1999 R/T that I bought new in 12/99 with 94,000 miles and still have the original clutch. And the car still kicks. Brakes lasted 60,000 miles. Original tires 20,000, Still have my Daytons that I put on at 20,000 miles, but they are about bald.

I own a 95 dodge neon highline.

I have never had any problems with it.

I would like to know however why people always wine about their problems like it is dodge's fault. All cars have problems sooner or later. And as far as service it just depends on the person who works at the dealership... most of whom don't like their job and it shows... so find a new dealership and stop crying.

I have a 1998 Dodge neon RT and I too if you can believe it, had a sunroof problem as it is stuck closed. Looks good, fast, but a horrible car last dodge ever.

I have a 98 Neon RT. This is the best car I have ever owned. I have yet to have any problems with the vehicle. Head Gasket still ticking, sunroof works great. I have done many mods on my RT and I have been Auto-crossing and Racing my neon since the day I bought 6 years ago. Still going strong. I even won my class at the last auto-cross. Have and will always buy from dodge!
