2000 DODGE NEON Complaints

WATER COMES IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK DURING HEAVY RAINS WATER ENTERS THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. WATER HAS DAMAGED FAN BLOWER, DASHBOARD, CARPET, SEATS, HOOD AND PANELS. DUE TO WATER DAMAGE MOLD IS FORMING ON THE VEHICLE CARPET.*MR

DUAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE CAR COLLIDED WITH THE GUARDRAIL HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AFTER LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED BY BAD WEATHER. VEHICLE SPINNED HITTING THE GUARDRAIL TWO MORE TIMES, PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR OF VEHICLE. INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS NOTIFIED AND ARE LOOKING INTO IT, THEY REQUESTED LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. ACCIDENT CAUSED INJURIES TO DRIVER AND TO PASSENGER. *LA

VEHICLE HAD ONGOING / INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH JERKING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OR SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. VEHICLE WOULD RESTART WITHIN 10-15 MINUTES LATER. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH ON ONE OCCASION, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL RECURRING.*AK

FITTING IN BOTTOM OF RADIATOR POPPED OUT CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT. REPLACED RADIATOR AND 3 MONTHS LATER HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FIXED. AT THE TIME OF THE RADIATOR MALFUNCTION THE CAR HAD 34,000 MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THE CAR HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 1, 2003. THE FAILURE OF THE RADIATOR HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH, 2003. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ONLY PAID $250.00 TO HAVE RADIATOR REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THE GENERAL MANAGER OF A 5-STAR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HARMED AT THE TIME THE RADIATOR FAILED. IT COST ME $1251.00 TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION FIXED. THE SECOND GEAR BAND WAS IN PIECES IN THE TRANSMISSION.

AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY WENT OUT FROM COLD TO HOT AIR. CODE IN SYSTEM IS P0645, SAYS A/C CLUTCH RELAY CIRCUIT, AN OPEN OR SHORTED CONDITION DETECTED IN THE A/C CLUTCH RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT. I BOUGHT THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR DODGE 2000 NEON. I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID A WIRE BREAKS ON THE BLACK HARNESS ATTACHED TO THE CLUTCH RELAY ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHEN THE AIR WENT FROM COLD TO HOT AIR. I CHECKED ALL FUSES ARE OK. THERE IS NO POWER THOUGH TO THE HARNESS TO THE HIGH PRESSURE CUT OUT SWITCH OR THE LOW PRESSURE CUT OFF SWITCH OR THE BLACK CONNECTOR ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE SERVICE MANUAL SAYS THIS MAY BE CAUSED FROM DEFECTIVE WIRING - FUSE - OR RELAY. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. ANY IDEAS TO WHAT MY PROBLEM IS AND HOW TO FIX IT? I'M STILL PAYING MY CAR OFF AND ALREADY SPENT 400.00 TO REPLACE BRAKE ROTORS ETC.., NOW MY AIR CONDITIONING IS FAULTY. HELP! HELP! *JB

CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED EMISSIONS DUE TO OBD TEST FAILURE. *AK *PH

WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMER WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. *AK

I LEASED A 2000 DODGE NEON FOR 4 YEARS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LEASE, I HAD CONTINUED TROUBLE WITH REAR BRAKE NOISE (SQUEALING), AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. WHEN I RETURNED THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF THE LEASE, I WAS BILLED $150 TO FIX THE SQUEALING REAR BRAKES. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SINCE I DID ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE BRAKES FIXED 3 TIMES. I SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR DODGE/CHRYSLER'S "FAULTY" PRODUCT.*AK
