NHTSA complaint #10136311, filed 2005-09, 130,916 miles“This is tearing my car up and the value of the car. I was told that Dodge does not cover rear struts. I don't understand why with only less that 37,000 miles on the car that it obviously was the dealer or the manufactuer's fault. Why would I tear up a car that I just bought? Thank you for listening.”

NHTSA complaint #705640, filed 1999-04“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10069957, filed 2004-01“Left front wheel came off while backing out of driveway. Vehicle towed to dealer shop, and informed consumer that left front lower ball joint disconnected.
