Glare from dashboard reflecting on the windsheild is dangerous. At times the glare makes it almost impossible to see when heading into the sun. This is a problem even when wearing sunglasses.

Head gasket blew. Oxygen sensor blew. Left rear brake pad fell off and jammed in the drum rendering the vehicle unmovable. Upon inspection, had to replace both drums, both discs, and new pads on front and back both sides. Window seals have failed on the passengers side front window. Water leaks in and air leaks at highway speeds, slows car down immensley and causes more fuel consumption. Driver's side window harshly scratched. Gets worse as time goes by, have seen other Neon's with the same problem. Fuel filter went, causing the entire fuel injection system to have to be replaced.
