“The power window motors in my vehicle have repeatedly burned out. I did replace the power window motor in the passenger's side while it was still under warranty, but it burned out again several months later. Later on, the driver's side power window motor also burned out. I have been without power windows on both the driver's and passenger's side for three to four years now.”
NHTSA complaint #10135185, filed 2005-09, 42,000 miles“Cd player on the 2000 NEON is mounted on the floor. ...at the bottom of the stack of center dashboard equipment. Beyond a working reach of most drivers. I feel my daughter's line of sight was obscured as she reached down to put in a cd. She had just started driving this car 2 weeks prior. She drove it 30 miles to work in the next town. This cd alignment is such that even I (who is 4 taller than my daughter) would not reach the cd player without compromising my ability to drive. …”
NHTSA complaint #10088727, filed 2004-08, 42,000 miles“I was driving to work and this car pulled out in front of me and I pushed the brakes and I slid into the car causing me to spin around and end up on the wrong side of the road. I have replaced the brakes every year and they still squeak really bad. The transmission has leaked for the entire time I have had the car. I have to replace the tires every 3 months and A/C went out 3 years after I bought the car. I haven't fixed the a./c compressor the cassette tape player stopped working after I bought the car and it's still broke. The bulbs in the lens of the light are very dim can't drive at night. …”
NHTSA complaint #10230840, filed 2008-06, 116,982 miles“I bought the car new which would not start for test drive was told someone left dome light on. After jump, it worked fine for a few thousand miles. Then went to car and would not start one day. There was no battery light on or any warning. It has happened 2 more times since then. Rear brakes wear out within a few months from replacement. Dealer fixed once and I have incured the expense several times since. I can not even afford to do it anymore leaving me to take a risk of driving with bad rear brakes. The most recent of events to occur this morning my drive belts broke. …”
NHTSA complaint #10071113, filed 2004-01, 25,000 miles“Since june 2003 (after my warranty ran out) , my 2000 Plymouth NEON needs to be jumped every 2 weeks. I was told it was the battery, so I went to auto zone where they used their tester and I purchased a battery from them. But since then, I still need a jump every 2 weeks and sometimes sooner (when it's cold or rainy). I took it to the dealership and they looked at it, telling me they couldn't find anything wrong with it, but charged me about $150 for the labor. I had the car jumped on 11/23, drove it around, left it sit idling for about an hour, turned it off and it started right up. …”
