Well I have had to replace two of the motor mounts and now I have to change the bottom one cause it has caused the moter and transmisson to shake vigorously. One of the rims keeps loosing the seal and my tire guy says chrome does that!! And now the oil sensor went bad lucky the week after I got it inspected!!!

General Comments:

I liked the car at first but now I would rather trade it in. It drives very bad!!

Faults:

Nothing went wrong so far with the car.

General Comments:

The car is very reliable. Cheap on gas. Has a very good style - exterior and interior. Its very comfortable, quiet and quick. This is my first car (I'm 16 yrs old) and from the time I got it till now I just love it. I can say that is better than the accord or any other four cylinder compact car.

Faults:

Transmission went out a 50,000 miles.

Rear brakes failed at 65,000 miles.

Stock tire need to be replaced at 25,000 miles.

Fog light went out at 30,000 miles.

This car is a piece of junk. The transmission went out at 51,000 miles, and need to be fully restored, along with the clutch. Thank god it was still under powertrain warranty, otherwise it would have cost me $3,000 to fix the transmission and clutch.

The rear brakes locked up at 65,000 miles due to a leak. $700 dollars later, they were fixed.

Road noise in this car is terrible, and even the new manual transmission is very rough. Shifts like it should have 200,000 miles on it.

If you like to have money in your wallet, don't buy this car.

October 2007, the automatic transmission (4 speed) fluid is draining into the radiator and spilling out of the overflow tank.

Is the water also leaking into the transmission? I have a new radiator to install, but must the transmission be flushed as well?

General Comments:

Has been a dependable car, no other problems except normal maintenance items.

Faults:

-The brake rotors warp easily; just braking hard once or twice will cause steering wheel vibration. This is a common problem for many Dodge and Chrysler vehicles.

-The front wheel bearings needed replacement at 50000 km, but only because I lowered the car 2.5".

General Comments:

Considering this thing only has 150 hp, it pulls really nice. The power band is mid to upper rpm range. The huge wheel gap makes it look a bit like an off road vehicle, but this is easily fixed with lowering springs. Handling is pretty decent stock and this car will handle like it's on rails with sway bars and springs. The quality of the second generation neon is much better than the first generation. The interior is a bit cramped in the back like any sport compact, but the front is really comfortable; the seats are very well designed. My only complaints are how you must be very careful not to brake too hard or the rotors will warp, and it takes more gas than most 4 cylinder engines of this size.

Transmission - first major repair on vehicle was at about 68000 miles. The factory said it was the transmission fluid pump. They fixed under warranty. It broke down again the next day after repair. They fixed it again saying it was a dirty filter. Then I drove it for almost 10000 more miles. It went out again with the very same symptoms. The fluid is a full, bright red and clear. No forward or reverse. I can't wait to hear what they have to say this time. I was planning to buy a new car again in 5-6 months, but now?

Headlights- constant problem from day 1. The headlights "blink" when air condition compressor kicks in, when any elec window or sun roof is activated. They said that "it was engineered that way" It is bothering me every time I drive at night. It never caused a problem.

General Comments:

People like the styling of the car and often tell me so. But if it doesn't go -it's no good.
