| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Make: dodge model: neon type: passenger car year: 2000 summary: as noted in other complaints, with any heavy rainfall, the floor in the back seats fills with water (up to an inch or more). appears to be entering through the trunk area, as the spare tire well also fills with water. using sponges and a shopvac to soak up the water and then leaving windows open to dry it out is my only remedy to the moisture and odor. this has been occurring since the vehicle was purchased in 2001. the dealer is of no help because (mercifully for others) that deal went bankrupt a year after purchase. i have a litany of other concerns with the 2000 neon. i've had to replace the engine (chrysler refused to honor warranty - partly a problem with records as the dealership of purchase/initial maintenance has gone out of business), each time i start the car, the fuse warning light comes on, though all fuses have been checked and look ok. an electrical harness has failed and as a result i have no functioning interior dome lights or exterior backup lights. repeated efforts by several repair facilities to locate the correct harness have failed. vehicle has under 72,000 miles of relatively easy city driving (commute to workplace) or divided highway driving), yet most front and rear suspension system components have failed and been replaced (all struts, sway bars, etc). transmission fluid hose or connector failed on feb 19, 2006, resulting in sudden and complete loss of fluid. *nm |
