“I can not give exact dates but have all service bills. I had the head gasket changed when it was covered under warranty. The air compressor is bad and now my struts are bad all at 44 thousand miles. All the tires that came with the car were replaced way before the warranty. I had midas put my new brakes on so I don't have to keep going back and replacing them through spizter Dodge. This is the worst car I ever had and I had a yugo that says alot”
NHTSA complaint #10070476, filed 2004-01, 44,000 miles“Had car repaired for a cracked head gasket and cracked radiator. I asked the dealership wasn't there a recall on cracked gaskets I was told for the 98 Dodge NEON. Got new brake pads. They squeal loud and it takes a lot for car to come to a complete stop. Had to get a new thermostat on my car because it kept running hot. If they replaced my radiator in jan 2003 why is my thermostat out. Also the check engine light came on and had to have the fuel inductor replaced along with a few other things.”
NHTSA complaint #10071031, filed 2004-01, 90,000 miles“When brakes were applied, they were very sporadic & pulled hard to the right. Would also lose power, but vehicle was not stopping. Been to several dealership & informed consumer brakes were fine. Took to another dealership & mechanic put in brake fluid & then noticed there was a crack in brake master cylinder.”
