After two years of auto repair visits, i have come to find that there is a design flaw in the air induction system. every time it rains, the vehicle sucks air through the air intake and soaks the air filter. it gets so wet that you can literally ring it out. the water is then ingested by the engine, causing very loud noises along with shaking and vibrations of the vehicle. also eventually causing other major car trouble. nlm | |||

Ventillation system of the vehicle does not contain an air circulation switch to shut off exterior air flow to prevent exterior exhaust and air from entering vehicle, resulting in nausea and headaches to consumer. | |||

Since owning this car i have had nothing but problems from 0 to 36,000 miles most were minor and were taken care of by the dealer (althoughi had to tell them what was wrong - they replaced the wrong parts the first time!). unfortunately, most of the problems occured after 36,000 miles were on the odometer and chrysler has not been too responsive to my requests for assistnace. i have been told by the dealer that my vehicle is out of warranty and that they would be happy to fix it but who wants to pay $75.00 so that a technician can learn to fix my car. in frustration, i have purchased a shop manual and have started to repair these problems myself. my sun roof needs a 10 cent plastic part which chrysler does not stock so in order to get it i need a new $500 sunroof mechanism! now, my transmission will not shift properly (in all gears) and i either need to rebuild the transmission, replace the clutch or the clutch cable. if you would like more informatoin on my saga please feel free to call me. | |||

I have a 1999 dodge neon. i bought the car in may 2002 at bruce campbell dodge in redford, michigan. my sunroof went out in september 2002. after arguing with the service manager, they replaced the switch (or the wires). i have the powertrain extended warranty (added care). the next occurence (may, 2004) was when i kept hearing noise in my driver wheel area. i took my care to bruce campbell to check 3 times, they said there was nothing wrong. after the 3rd time, i took it to birmingham chrysler and asked them to look at it and they told me the cylinder was cracked. i was grateful that my warranty covered that problem (i was without my car for 2 weeks). i still have a tremble in my steering wheel when i reach the speeds of 50 to 70 mph. i have purchased new wheels, rims, and have had my tires rotated and balanced in may, 2004, but i still have issues with the trembling. i'm told that the car is supposed to drive that way. i've had a '93 plymouth colt that drove better. my 3rd occurence is now my sunroof has went out again. i just spent $70.00 at birmingham chrysler to diagnosis that the wire are broken and it'll cost my around $1,000 to fix it. my warranty covers sunroofs for switch problems, but not wiring. i don't have money to be spending on repairs when i have 3 more years of paying car notes. the reason i bought this particular car was because of the sunroof. i have had 3 chrysler cars and no break from repair shops. i need suggestions. *ak thank you. | |||

Sunroof. bought car new in 6/99; car has been in shop 8 times for problems in reference to sunroof. sunroof replaced two times since purchase of car; same problem again. sunroof is barely used and was just replaced in january, 2002. its been used approx 10 times and now the gears are stripped yet again. seems to be a problem with the mechanism for the closing of sunroof that causes gears to strip. *ak | |||
