NHTSA complaint #10021389, filed 2003-06, 82,741 miles“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. …”

NHTSA complaint #705640, filed 1999-04“Cruise control went out shortyly after dealer reprogrammed PCM. Rear main seal has been an ongoing problem with constant leaks. Radio began working intermittently about year and half ago and now is completely out. Instrument cluster was working intermittently for about a year and then completely went out. A/c condensor went out and took belts with it. I have done alot of internet research and word of mouth research and found that all these components are common failurs. Called Dodge complaint line only to have them tell me I'm sol since warranty is up.”
NHTSA complaint #766676, filed 2002-09“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!! …”
