The truth on the Neon is that it is not a reliable vehicle. I know several people who own them and all of them have had similar problems. Here is a list.
The following are about newly purchased Dodge Neon's
Here is the bad: :frown:
1) Fuel pump went bad within a year.
2) Trunk was leaking in rain water (Poor design)
3) Electrical problems within two years.
4) Transmission failures
Thats the bad. Here is the good:
1) Decent fuel economy.
2) Fast when nuetral dropped down steep hills.
4) It can easily blow the doors off of a Chevy Chevtte.
5) Maintenance doesn't cost that much if you have a good warranty.
6) You get to try out all sorts of cars while yours is in the shop.
It wouldn't be such a good idea to purchase one if you don't get a warranty.
