#31 of 1758 R/T - Road and Track by 71charger Apr 23, 2000 (3:12 am)
Title says it all. Goes back to the 67 (I think) Coronet.

I have almost 5000 miles on my 2000 Neon and I think it's great! No motor-mount problems, no head gasket problems, no battery or radiator problems either. It did shock me and my wife when we exited the car (static charge), we bought some cool seat covers and no more zaps. Maybe it's the fabric? The ES package is worth every penny.

I have a 98 Neon R/T with 46000 miles and just had the head gasket changed. DC is aware of the problem and is fixing them regardless of warranty, I didn't pay a dime for it even though I was 10k miles out of it. I also get shocked everytime I get out of the car depending on what shoes I'm wearing, go figure. As for my opinion, I absolutely love the car.

Well, here it is Apr 24 and I still have not received my CD's from the Dodge Dealer. The CD changer was replaced at the end of Feb 2000 and they keep blowing me off when I call them to ask where they are. Last I was told they were mailed from Mitsubishi on Mar 22. I guess if there had not been so many problems with the dealer and the problems I have had with the car itself this would seem like a minor problem. But since both dealers have treated me so poorly I guess that is why I feel the way I do. I wrote a letter to DaimerChrysler and received a call back in two days. They explained that they were limited to what they could do because the dealers are privately owned but they promised to do what they could. I will under no circumstances EVER buy anything but a GM vehicle next time- they have better reliability and also offer a loaner standard on the warranty when your car is in for warranty work.
#37 of 1758 still few kinks left in the Neon by tellie Apr 25, 2000 (4:00 am)
well we are back from our holidays...we left with our fingers crossed that nothing major would happen...We put about 2400kms on her...before we left we got a bit of grinding from the fan again...=(...other than that she made it there and back safely...we are going to take her in tomorrow to get looked at she seems to be idling low again and the vibration is back too...but other than that it was a good trip out west...thanks by the way for the idea of seat covers to help with the shocking experience...well it's late and gotta work in the morning early...thanks again
#38 of 1758 Yes by prowler24 Apr 25, 2000 (6:41 am)
fine buy your GM products i dont care. Even though i dont see how u think GM of all makers has better reliability than DC. They produce such hideous things like the god awful Cavalier and Grand Am. Yuck! I have a 98 Neon and my mom has a 98 Intrepid. The one time my neon has been in the shop overnight for a small fix i demanded a loaner and got one. The same goes for the 2 times my mothers Intrepid ES was in the shop. They dont like given out loaners, but bitching and complaining usually does the trick. I love DC cars, but HATE MOST of their dealers. If anyone is thinking about buying a chryslerdodgejeep,u should find a nice dealer even if its a bit outta the way, it'll be worth it, they will treat ya much better.
#39 of 1758 DC dealers by 71charger Apr 25, 2000 (1:21 pm)
I must agree with Prowler, I like the Chrysler cars but have always felt that their dealers are terrible. I think the dealership experience goes a long way toward your opinion of the quality of a car. If you have a head gasket go and the dealer takes it in and fixes it promptly and gives you a loaner, you're a lot less likely to look back on it as a real problem when it's new car time again. Everybody sells cars for around invoice any more. I think you're better off finding a good dealer and paying a little more if you have to and use him or her. As for GM being higher quality, my Camaro was like a bad science experiment gone horribly wrong. I got a survey in the mail for my Neon with six pages of small print of everything that could possibly be wrong with a new car. I couldn't check a single box. Of course I could have worn out a pencil on my 83. But as the Monkees said, that was then, this is now.
#40 of 1758 My Neon by nateatvtc Apr 26, 2000 (6:19 pm)
I have had my 98' Neon for just over a year now. When it have 1,000 miles on it, the rotors needed replacing. Then this winter, I got between 20 and 22 mpg (long trips and short) which is not all that impressive. I also have experienced the shock that you get when getting out of a Neon. I am to the point where I have a phobia and when I get out of any car I make sure that I close the door using the window. Yesterday I found out that I have blown head gasket. Not very good for a car with only 26,000 miles. Not to mention the fact that when I am going down the interstate, I am embarrassed to have people ride with me because inevitability there is always someone in the car that asks me if I have it in overdrive because the engine is revving so high and it is so loud. Overall, I would say that I am not impressed with the Neon. This is my first new car and only my second car and I expected a lot more. Replies to this message: iyz408 (Jun 13, 2006 3:29 pm)
