'ive had my car since 9/94 and now with 123,000 miles. I like the shape and the color and comfort of the car. I was told by several dealers to drive it to the end. I will never get what I paid for a trade-in. As of now, ive use my exetended warranty, cant afford to put in shop, 2/98 made a call to holzauers and asked about my skruntched in bits pieces rotor. They checked for squeeks and didnt tell me about a bad rotor. Squealing and no brakes. A new brake system was done and still squeaking. Now back brakes are bad. Ive had lots of bad things happen. But ive had lots of compliments ofthe color. One week after I got it a car spun rocks & scratched the hood paint. The paint job is not good. Im getting rusty spots now. Water leaked inside and holzauers rigged it to stop. When it get 90/100' hot weather, air bag light stays on, heat/air fan dont work til car cools. I use phillips 66 gas w/93 Oct most of the time. 10% ethonol is bad. It will flutter w/low Oct water based gas. In reverse gear it grinds and wont go into gear. Ive tolerated most of these things til it wont move or start. Im glad to have a car. At the price then 13,000$ is not fair. My rights as a consumer w/anew car have not been met. Arbitration turned me down over my windows and doors out of adjustment. Said my mileage was too high. But for months w/low mileage I was ignored. Chrysler just wanted money. I did recommend a newer Neon to my aunt. She purchased one. I love my car. But without defects. My window still leaks, my left turn sig. Dont go off, brakes squeek, engine light stays on, coil wire loosens, my car shocks my boyfriend, ignition is lose, suspension is bad, car hops around bumpy corners at 30 mph. Paint is chipping, I ve had 3 sets of new tires, 2 new batteries, a new fuel pump, airconditioning unit, oil pump is weak, engine makes crakling sound when accelarating. Ok!
