2002 Dodge Neon Electrical system Problems

“Took my 2002 NEON sxt in for transmission warranty work in 2004...first chrysler denied the claim stated that the transmission was not covered (had an extended warranty!). Had my speed sensors replaced in december 2005 & am taking the car in again tomorrow to have them replaced again.”

“The gauges, (gas, RPM's, oil, temperature) on my 2002 doge NEON will go haywire while driving the car. The bell for the door will also go off while I'm driving. I don't know how fast I'm driving or how much gas I has left. And the bell for the door will constantly ring. I took it to a Dodge dealer who ran some tests on it and they cannot find the problem. It seem to happen more frequently when the weather is warm.”

“I have a 2002 Dodge NEON. In the first year I had the car I had the typical car problems but nothing too major. I have replaced the battery 6 times in the car, since purchase. In may of 2006, is when the problems began rolling in. My main computer had died in the car, a $900 repair. After contacting Dodge to get a new computer to put in the car, I had to wait for 7 months for it to be shipped, due to such a large back order. And the computer was only shipped after Dodge was called and I had threatened to contact the better business bureau. …”

“I have a 2002 Dodge NEON sxt. For about a year now my fog lights have not worked properly. When my headlights are on my fog lights flicker on and of on their own. If I go over a bump the turn on another bump turns them off. They even flicker on and off on smooth road. I thought nothing about it until I started smelling something electrical burning. I then saw a stream of white smoke coming out of the top of my steering column through the hazard light button. This happens everytime I turn on my headlights. I have not had the problem repaired yet but I need to very soon. …”

“My headlights & fog lights stopped working last week. The only way I was able to drive in the dark was holding my high-beams on. I took my car to the shop on friday, it was $500 to replace a burnt wiring harness & multifunction switch. There was no warning that this system would stop working. I had no choice but to pay for the repairs because of the time change and the fact it gets darker earlier, I had to have headlights to go work. I think this is something Dodge should have warned their customers about or replaced. Something failed in the system, this is not normal wear and tear.”
