2002 Dodge Neon Other or unknown Problems

“I was driving on the interstate when, with no warning, I felt a jolt (like being hit from behind), then a strange sound from the engine compartment. I was able to control the car and pull off to the side of the road where I discovered that I had lost all gears. The car would not shift and would not move. I had to have it towed home (about 80 miles) where I took it to a transmission shop. They did a complete diagnostic evaluation and determined that the transmission was completely blown along with the cooling system radiator. …”

“I had purchased a 2002 Dodge NEON sxt in september of 2002. After a few months of driving my car until today october 10th, 2003 I have had my car at the dealer 6 different times for the same problem. I have an electrical short somewhere where it makes all my gauges die and flicker. The brake and seat belt light come on and chime...my dome light flickers like a strobe light..my radio cuts out and sometimes my power window will not work properly. The first couple times the said clusters in the back of the dash had to be tightened. …”

“I bought the car brand new. No previous owners. The car is a 2002 Dodge NEON 4 door. The paint began to peel off approx two years after I bought it. I took it to a Dodge dealership and was told that Dodge would not help me since it looked like the paint was coming off because of stones hitting it. You can clearly see where the paint is about to peel more, because it bubbles up first, then splits, then peels off. The paint will literally fly off when driving and you can see it go up past the windshield. The paint is peeling off in sheets. …”

“I took my 2002 Dodge NEON to the dealer I purchased my car from. It was missing really bad, and the back floorboards held water when it rained. It was standing about an inch in my back floorboards, and my spare tire carrier in my trunk was full of water. My wires needed to be replaced, and I had 2 spark plugs that were bad and they put new plugs and wires in, at my expense. I purchased extended warranty on my vehicle, which was not cheap. I had to pay for the tune-up, the rental car, and they told me the leakage was due to bad seals in the tail lights and it wasn't covered. …”

“Back seat floor floods in heavy rains (pools of standing water). Trunk also soaked. Smells horrible and is difficult to drain/remove water. No dampness of seats or around window/door area. (property damage at this point is odor-related.)”
