Peeling paint on my 1995 Dodge Neon. I am on my third transmission, replaced air conditioner because of smoke under hood, brakes, rotors, fuel leaking, valve cover gasket, head gasket, no oil in engine had it towed. I also in the time I own my Neon I have had all kinds of problems. After replacing all this I only had one recall sent to me on the steering coupler. I had that fixed at the dealer. But, I haven't had any other recalls sent to me. 2 transmissions and alot of money spent on a lemon.
The consumer took the vehicle into the mechanic and was told that the had gone bad. Water seeped into the tank. while driving consumer heard a clanking noise that came from the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle over heated.
The brakes on the car are just terrible. I bought the car in 2002, it was a 1995 Neon Dodge(best I could buy back then). But in less than a year since I've had the car I've had to have the air conditioner fixed one time, the paint is basically peeling off by itself, but the worst part are the brakes, I've had them changed three times in less than eight months. Once I almost got in car accident because they failed on me. Since I bought it in a small local dealer shop much could not be done, but I am looking foward to getting a better car with better safety features.
The car leaks water from somewhere. When it rains the backseat floor fills up with water. There are no water trails running down from the windows so I don't know where the leak is coming from. The air conditioning has finally died completely - it has been smelling musty for quite some time. The windows roll down by themselves. If you go over a bumpy road or just drive for any length of time the windows start creeping down. After every drive I have to go around the car and make sure the windows are rolled up tight.
I am really concerned with the way Chrysler Corp. Is handling the head gasket problems on the 95-98 Neon's. so far my head gasket has been blown. Most of the Dodge Neon 95 -99 have head gasket problems resulting in oil lick and burn of fuel. I have to replace the head gasket, which will gost me about $1500. I also have noticed the poor crash results on the Neon 95. Which can result in a very seroius injuries.
