| I purchased this dodge neon used with 23,000 miles. i have had nothing but problems with it since the very beginning. first the fuel pump went out. we had continuous problems with oil leaking and overheating. the air-conditioning has started to work only occassionally. the seals on the windows are very poor and it always sounds like the window needs to be rolled up. the trunk didn't have any seal to protect against the rain and my interior was flooded several times during the winter, over a couple of years until we were able to figure out where the problem was. i actually had to remove the back seat and all interior carpet for the rainy season. now the water pump and my head gasket have given out. i had heard about the head gasket problems on my many service visits, but always held out hope until now that is. these repairs will cost me well over $1,000. and the car is barely 4 years old. very big mistake i made purchasing the dodge neon, not only is it always in need of repair, but they have the absolute worse dealer customer relations and service department that i have ever dealt with. i stopped going to dodge for service after my first couple of encounters with them. | |||

| The first time would have been headed up 23 n the car hesitated on the hill, later that day, being the next day after i bought the car, it stopped going up a slight incline on high street in worthington oh in lunch hour traffic, i was in the far lane and could feel there was no pressure on the gas pedal, the next was 2 days later going up kenney rd, i was half way when i could feel no pressure in the gas pedal, i managed to get off the road and turn the corner when the car stopped, the final time i was on my way to work in morning rush when it started to act up, again there was no pressure in the gas pedal, i was moving at a rate that i could pull off the road, each time even though i was on level ground the car would not start again, the first time the dealer said i was out of gas, the second time he said i was out of gas and didn't bother to have it repaired only after the third conflict with him and this car was it fixed, i also think this car may have been wrecked, it was under warranty but was on the sales lot with all these prob and the driver door leaks air quite a bit, if ther is a way that could be checked out i would be happy to do it if i had the information. *ak | |||
