2005 Dodge Neon Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“On or about march 1, 2013, my 2005 Dodge NEON began to have clutch problems. On march 11, 2013, I brought the NEON in for repairs at the dealer I purchased it at. The repairs took 3 week. On july 10, 2013, I drove to the denver v.a. From cheyenne, wy and on the trip back to cheyenne, wy, the clutch went out completely and suddenly. …”

“My vehicle has a problem when I accelerate. However, the automatic transmission is bumpy or shudder into rough first or second gear shift.

“I was driving on the freeway for several miles and got off an off ramp. I continued to drive throughout the city and had come to a four way stop.

It was possible that someone could have gotten hurt if they were behind the car. The parking brake could not hold the weight of that car. The manufacturer did specify to put the car in reverse when parking the car. …”
