2005 Dodge Neon

AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY! I WAS IN A 6 CAR ACCIDENT, FRONT AND REAR ENDED FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER HIT! MY 2005 DODGE NEON SXT WAS TOTAL RIGHT OFF AT 33,000 MILES. NOT ONLY THAT THE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY BUT THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER BACK SEAT HAD GAVE CAUSING ME TO BE TOSSED BACKWARDS! THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE STEERING WHEEL TILT ALSO BROKE CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO DROP IN MY LAP! I NOW SUFFER ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOWER BACK PAIN, LEG PAIN, AND HEAD INJURIES WHICH I AM NOW SEEING A REHAB, CHIROPRACTOR DOCTOR 3 DAYS A WEEK. DODGE DEALERS CLAIMS THAT THERE CARS ARE 5 STARS! SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD WORK PROPER AT ALL TIMES! *TR

BECAUSE RAIN SEASON HERE IN MEXICO WE HAD SEVERAL DAYS RAINING ALMOST THE ENTIRE DAY. YESTERDAY WHEN A TAKE MI WIFE TO WORK I NOTICED THAT THE RUG OF MY CARS FLOOR WAS WET, AT NIGHT AFTER WORK I TRIED TO CHECK WHY THE WATER WAS INSIDE MY CAR AND I NOTICED THAT BELOW THE BACK SEAT WAS WET, I DISASSEMBLE THE BACK SEAT AND NOTICE THAT THERE WAS WATER BELOW THE SEAT AND DUE TO THAT ALL THE FLOOR BELOW THE RUG HAS WATER (1 TO 2 LITERS OF WATER), I NOTICE THAT THE CLIPS THAT GIVE ROUTE TO THE HARNESS (TAIL LIGHTS, PUMP, AND TRUNK WIRING) HAS WATER, IT SEEMS THAT THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM; FROM FACTORY NOBODY TRY TO SEAL THIS PARTS, SO WATER CAME THROUGH THIS BY THE HOLES MADE TO LOCATE THE CLIPS. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE SERVICE FROM FACTORY AND TELL ME THAT THEY WILL CHECK IT. *TR

MY 2005 NEON HAS BEEN SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. IT IS WORSE IN WARM WEATHER. TRANSMISSION FLUID FINE AND NOT BURNT. DIDN'T PICK UP ON THE COMPUTER WHEN IT WAS CHECKED OUT AT A GARAGE BUT NO ONE DISPUTES THE PROBLEM. FEELS LIKE SLIPPING ON ICE. HAS 35,000M NOW AND HAS BEEN SHAKING AS WELL. IT BEGAN DOING THIS AT 30,000. OUT OF WARRANTY BY 6 MONTHS. FURTHER, HIT A DEER LAST NIGHT. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO FRONT END. HIT THE DEER HARD ENOUGH FOR IT TO FLY UP ONTO THE ROOF AND BOUNCE OFF. BODY SHOP WAS SURPRISED AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THE SENSOR WAS EXPOSED AND DEFINITELY HIT. I'M KIND OF GLAD THEY DIDN'T BUT AFTER REVIEWING COMPLAINTS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE. FINALLY. THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN CORRODED SINCE DAY ONE AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT THE WHEELS SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS LET ALONE NEARLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. ONCE AGAIN, DODGE DOES NOTHING.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE NEON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL BRAKE POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY AND APPLY HER EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HER BOYFRIEND REMOVED THE TIRE AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT BE PURCHASED OUTSIDE OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE BRAKES AND OTHER FAILURES AT THE COST OF $400. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,050 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,008. UPDATED 07/07/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE HOSE WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURER. THE HOSE WAS THE WRONG SIZE WHICH LEAD TO A LAG IN THE HOSE WHICH OVERTIME RUBBED AND FORMED A HOLE WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. UPDATED

DODGE NEON 2005 RAN A RED LIGHT , HIT A LARGE VAN TOTAL MY CAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK. I HIT WINDSHIELD, STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE HITTING BRAKE LEVER. I HAVE THREE CRACKED RIBS , LARGE KNOT ON KNEE, LARACATION ON FOREHEAD FROM HITTING WINDSHIELD. JUST GOT OVER HEAT SURGERY. DOCTORS SAID IT WILL TAKE 6 TO 8 WEEKS TO HEAL. THE CAR ONLY HAD 3,500 WHEN WE PURCHASED. WAS CHECKED OUT ON CARFAX . *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE NEON. THE RADIATOR CLAMP FELL OFF AND CAUSED ALL OF THE RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FAILED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. AT 9,000 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. BOTH REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 15,000 MILES, THE TIRES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 18,000 MILES, THE BRACKETS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED AND THE SEAT COULD NOT BE MOVED BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO AT 18,000 MILES, THE DEALER HAD TO ADJUST THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE SQUEALING AND PULSATING. THE SQUEALING AND PULSATING OCCURRED ALL THE TIME, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS. THE CONTACT PAID FOR THE ADJUSTMENT. THE CD PLAYER FAILED AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. CURRENTLY, THE REAR BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEALING AND PULSATING, AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED. THE MOTOR MAKES A POPPING SOUND DURING ACCELERATION. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE MOTOR WILL SINK INTO THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING SUPPORTING THE MOTOR IS THE EXHAUST. THE MOTOR IS ALMOST TOUCHING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS CLOSED. HE HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE MOTOR MOUNTS TO BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,764 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

MY 2005 DODGE NEON DOES NOT WANT TO CRANK. WHEN IT DOES CRANK AND YOU ACCELERATE THEN RPMS INCREASE RAPIDLY AND THEN FALL BACK TO ABOUT 1500 AND THE CAR STARTS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD QUICKLY AND THEN ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. NOT DRIVABLE, TOO DANGEROUS. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE NEON (CHRYSLER) AND THE PAINT IS COMING OFF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE FIX WHEN IT IS A FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT/COLLISION. HOW/WHY WOULD A TWO YEAR OLD CAR LOOSE ITS PAINT SO FAST. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS IF THIS VEHICLE WAS EVER RECALLED. THE DEALERSHIP IS SO BUSY TRYING TO PROTECT ITSELF THAT IT DID NOT RESEARCH ANY OR ALL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
