| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2000 dodge neon-i have had this car for 5 years and use it solely for commuting to and from work. i am a careful driver and do not abuse this vehicle. *ak during these 5 yrs i have had the following work on this car; replaced the brakes twice within the first 2 yrs replaced the battery 3 times over 5 years replaced the transmission at 70k replaced the radiator at 70k the car performs very poorly in ice and snow. i have spun out on several major highways merely doing less than 10 mph in snow/slush. i was told my mechanic that it is the weight distribution and poor design of my vehicle that this happens. my tires have always been maintained/replaced when tread was getting low. i recently paid $400 for a set of new michelin harmony tires hoping that the upcoming snow and ice season may not kill me. car had a musty/fishy odor when i used the heater during the first 2 years. this has since gone. my transmission died during a thunderstorm on my way home from work. it gave no warning, all fluids had just been checked the weekend before when my oil was changed. this incident resulted in over $1900 worth of repair charges. i had just bought out my lease that very week. the $1900 i paid was my entire savings. the following repair work outstands; cdplayer is dead. it chewed up my cds. (1 year) my rear passenger door lock buzzes when i lock it. it apparently needs a new door lock assembly and actuator. (2nd year) the trunk latch does not automatically open. it takes several attempts to lock. (1st year). |
