| Just had the instrument panel replaced due to a fried power transistor on the i/c board. repair lasted about 1 hour and then replacement instrument panel failed also. appears to be a short in the dash light circuit. this causes fuse # 15 to blow which removes power from the parking lights, and the tail lights. *tr | |||

| About 2 1/2 years after i purchased my dodge neon sxt the seal at the bottom of all the windows began to dry up, crack, and fall off. at this point i barely have any seal in between all 4 of my car windows and the car door. water has gone down into my door and i'm afraid that it will soon affect the electrical equipment in the door. my main concerns are the controls for adjusting my mirrors, my window controls, and my door lock. i have never seen a car's seal basically dry rot and fall off of a car starting so early. i would expect it to start happening now that i've had the car 8-9 years, but not to this extent. *tr | |||

| Upon purchasing my car, brand new in 2004, i have had several problems with it. after a short year of having my car my power windows went out, shortly after my front door speakers stopped working and my radio/cd player often doesn't work correctly...cd discs will get stuck in player and continually play until car is shut off and sometimes that doesn't even resolve problem. front brakes started to squeak and groan constantly, i took the vehicle to the dealership 4 times to have them try to fix brakes. while having brake problems, check engine light came on and car started to chug and jerk frequently. took back to dealership, diagnostic showed #4 cylinder misfire, had plugs and wires replaced, however check engine light came back on after driving car <10 miles. took car back to dealership 4 times to fix, on the fourth occasion they finally found a broken ring leading to the motor, problem is still unresolved. i then called warranty people to discover that my ring is covered under my power-train warranty after having been told by the dealership the ring couldn't be fixed. was also told by the dealership that the wiring was faulty in the radio player and not the speakers. | |||
