#841 of 1758 What is a Speed Control Box? by valleyguy Oct 16, 2001 (1:19 pm)
Bought my daughter a 2001 Neon, we love the car. 15k, only problem was an automatic door lock that was noisy, got it replaced free.   As the front end is VERY low, in going up the driveway, the front bottomed out and a black box about 12 inches cubed fell from underneath the passenger-side front fender. It appears to have been connected with a black hose, but the box is not air tight or contain any fluid. Dealer told me it was a " speed control box", but he didin't know what it was for. Four months now we haven't replaced it ($80 dealer installed)car runs great, same mileage, cruise control still works. What the heck does the thing do???? Should I get it replaced??

My son has a ´01 R/T, he loves the car, he bought it las November and the car has been truble free.   It´s a sharp looking car, and the exhaust sounds great; it´s a blast to drive it.  This is the 5th. Neon in our family, sounds crazy but they had been reliable.

Don't know what it is either. You may want to try www.neons.org.
#844 of 1758 speed control box by hersbird Oct 22, 2001 (8:18 pm)
I know on my 98 it was hard to change one of the fog light bulbs because a box that controls the cruise control was in the way. Maybe that's what the dealer meant by "speed control".
#845 of 1758 Yeah... by vocus Oct 24, 2001 (8:56 am)
Cruise control and speed control are the same thing. What doesn't make any sense is that the cruise in the car still works without this box in the car. Call the dealer and ask for an explanation is the only thing I would say.
#846 of 1758 Need to decode 2001 VIN by leehoki Oct 25, 2001 (8:08 am)
Someone tried to sell me a 2001 Dodge Neon SE. Because the owner got the car from a rental company, all the documents are gone. All I got is the VIN number, so I really don't know whether the Neon is really a SE or some other trim. I can only find the VIN decoding on neon.org up to 1999. Does anyone know how to decode the 2001 Neon VIN? Is there anyway to check whether the car is really a SE trim? Thanks for helps and comments!
#847 of 1758 SE trim by majorthomecho Oct 25, 2001 (8:51 am)
Is there some feature on the SE that comes standard on it exclusively? I mean that you cannot get even as an option on another trim level. If there is such a feature and the Neon you are looking at lacks it, it is not a SE.   Does anyone see a flaw in that thinking?
#848 of 1758 Look... by vocus Oct 25, 2001 (9:17 am)
Look at the car and if the back door letters are "SE" and not "ES", then it's an SE. And, the SE is the lowest trim level of Neon anyway. Who cares if it's an ES and has more equipment in it.
#849 of 1758 just had to laugh by buoyant Oct 26, 2001 (4:43 pm)
I like the phrasing of Lee's first statement. Almost sounds like he got approached by a street vendor peddling used late-model Neons.   "Hey you, come here. Want to buy a Neon?"   Out of curiosity, Lee, was the selling party a dealer? If not, you might want to steer clear of that particular car. If you bought it, that would make you the 3rd owner of a 1 year old car - kind of a frightening proposition.   Rental cars may have low miles, but they haven't been babied. Every time I feel myself getting tempted by one of those newspaper ads featuring 2001 Neons starting at $8995, I recall how I drove my last company car and quickly flip the page.
#850 of 1758 Good point.. by vocus Oct 30, 2001 (2:12 pm)
It seems like everyone always "dogs" their company and rental cars. I wonder why?
