1995 Dodge Neon. Throttle body. Was built without an "O" ring seal. Engine gets wet, throttle body ruined. When it gets moisture inside, the car has trouble accelerating. Sometimes it does, others it does not. It feels like driving a four cylinder car with three bad spark plucks, the engine misses, and bogs down. Bad news if your on the highway and the people behind you want to drive through you because your not going the speed limit. Dodge says that since its not a "safety issue* which, it is if you see the people in my rearview driving up to my bumper when it happens, they don't have to replace it, but I can feel free to pay the 450 dollars in parts alone and let them fix their problem.

- Albany, NY, USA

As soon as this car hit 36000mls the problems just added up. Everytime I turned around something was going wrong this car. Chrysler were the worst manufaturer I had ever dealt with and will never buy anything from then again. We had to let the car go back because we could no long afford the repairs on it. The cruise control had to have some thing to do with the computer, and was replacedby myself. The alternator went bad was replaced by myself. The radio went bad was replaced by myself. The transmission had a pin that was not fitted and wore a hole through the transfer case. Malfunction!! we could not afford it and did not repair.

Within the last 8 months A/C compressor went out; the speed control surged, worked intermittently then stopped functioning; the left rear ABS wheel speed sensor failed causing the system to work intermittently; the engine head gasket blew and my rear window blew out and shattered when I closed the door during 00F weather. Presently I have had no response from the manufacturer stating the technicality of "out of warranty" "nothing we can do" deaf ears. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions on how I can proceed to recover some of my costs for repairing so many items that have failed within a short period of time.
