Here is an update to my post from two weeks ago, 4/13. Replaced the door ajar unit on my driver's side back door. Cost $12 from the dealership and took 30 minutes to change out. Since then, I have had no more locks clicking and no dome lights issues. Still have a malfunction indicator light on my dash and will have that checked out soon. Hope this is helpful to more people. Keep preserving your vehicles! :o)

Biggest mistake of my life.
Problems too numerous to list without taking up 10 monitor screens of text.
More expensive to keep running than a vintage Ferrari by FAR.
Chrysler bankruptcy was in large part caused by the Neon in my book.

My 2005 is a piece of crap also. At 38,000 miles the lower control arm bushings seperated from their housing on both sides of the vehicle. The dealer says he has replaced many of these on both the neons and the PT Cruiser which has the same front suspension. No wonder Chrysler went bankrupt. they deserve it for the garbage they build.

Sorry to hear you got stuck with a Neon. A shame that in 10 years they improved the Neon probably by about 100%, but 100% better than total utter lemon garbage is still garbage, and certainly one of the main causes of bankruptcy.
May Chrysler designers and engineers rot in hell!

Maybe a 95 wasn't the best neon out there ,but they worked out the bugs of earlier ones later on . I read that 2004 and 2005 model years are actually recommended by Consumers Reports (who always bash American cars and Chrysler especially) as a best buy for a used car . I have a 2000 and it now has 149000 on it (bought w/ 83000 ) and I haven't done anything special except regular maint . I drive 83 miles a day to work and it hasn't let me down yet . I only wish that it had a 4 speed tranny instead of the 3 so I would get better gas mileage ,but I know that the 3 speed is actually a better tranny .
