Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10069169, filed 2004-01, 62,000 miles“We started noticing clearcoat missing from the hood and roof of car when we were washing it. Now more and more keeps peeling away. I have noticed many other neons with the same problem. There seems to be a defect in the paint and clearcoat on these cars. Now we keep the car either in the garage or have a car cover over it to try and slow the peeling away down. I know it will get worse and then begin to rust.”
NHTSA complaint #10055078, filed 2004-01“Driver side door safety bar flew out of door on impact and shows it didn't take any of the crash impact, I have photo's of the car driver side door and I also have the bar that flew out of it that is straight as a arrow. I'm just glad that the door folded out and not in or my step-daughter would have been killed. She was in a coma for three days. If any further info is needed please contact me by e-mail. Thank you larry ison.”
