1994 Dodge Neon Sport from North America - Comments

Head gasket blew at 120,000 miles (dealer replaced for free).

Cassette player went out three times, but radio still works great.

Starter has been replaced twice.

Alternator been replaced three times.

The passenger turn signal kept going out (figure out that it was just a short between the connectors... easy fix with duck tape)

The heater core has gone out twice (crappy mechanic cause he replaced it and then 2,000 miles later it happened again)

This Neon's been great. the paint still looks like new except on the trunk lid is beginning to fade which is normal for a car with over 200,000 miles on it. Plan on getting another 1st generation Neon after this one finally dies (whenever that may be).

How did you get Chrysler to pay for the head gasket repair at 120,000?

We bought like 4 cars from that dealer and also at the time the person in charge of the service department was a really good friend of ours and he did all the work.

You may have your Neon for a while yet. They are the replacement for the Omni, and my '90 Omni had 240,000 on it when I sold it and still ran like new and didn't use any oil.

Chrysler builds very good cars. A guy I used to work with got 400,000 miles out of one.

Let us all grow beards like the people in Canada on the "Red Green show" and let us drive our K cars!!! Woot!!! We can't afford a BMW or Mercedes and we are proud of it!!! Iaccoca Rocks!!! Who needs air conditioning or a key to start our car anyway?

Neons tend to be plagued early on. It can't be compared to an omni. Omnis were CHEAP, but lasted longer. The early Omnis werent so great, either. They improved later on. Dodge is still trying to get the bugs worked out of the neon.

Agree with the Omni. They Rock... especially the GLH's... I think that's the names lol...

Somebody is really confused, comparing BMW and Mercedes to the Chrysler K-car, even though this review is about a Neon. Proud that I can't afford a Mercedes? Rather, proud that instead of making an $800 payment on a Mercedes, I kept driving the reliable old Dodge and put the saved money in the bank and paid off my house. Think of that next time you send in your payment, or have to pay $1,500 to have the wiper blades changed on your Mercedes.
