2003 dodge neon se--HELP

Written by: noheart on Sep 13, 2009 11:28 AM

I recently purchased this car and if it's below 90 degrees outside, she turns over, but idles rough and no power when driving. Over 90 degrees she's a dream machine. The code came up as P2302, so I changed the coil, plugs (yes, gapped them correctly to 35), plug wires. Still got the same code, so I changed the battery, ran the alternator test--all is great. Changed ... Read More...

I have 2003 Dodge Neon that my daughter crashed 2 months after getting her drivers license. It was a fron end collision that pushed the radiator into the intake manifold and the fenders fair enough back to prevent the ... Read More...

hard (early) shifting - 2003 Dodge Neon SXT (automatic)

Written by: dnoyes on Jun 13, 2008 05:02 PM

Hey guys (and gals). I have a 2003 Dodge Neon (Automatic) SXT. Worked GREAT until about 55K miles. Then crap started falling apart. Fast forward 4K miles. At 59K my engine light went on. I went in, and they told me I needed transmission work. Still covered under Powertrain, so that was cool. After having it for a few hours, they told me that the engine air cleaner was ...

Dodge Neon 2003

Written by: raf123 on Jul 06, 2005 02:28 PM

I purchased a Dodge Neon from a salvage company that had a damaged computer. I replaced the computer with one with the exact part number purchased from a salvage company. The engine started and ran for a few minutes and then completely shut off and would not restart. It appears that the key that I was given by the company was not the correct key and the vehicle has the ... Read More...

Written by: aite_eternelle on May 05, 2005 10:07 AM

Don't swear off all dodges just because of the 2000 neon. I actually used to own a 2000 neon ES. After 6 months, the battery died. One of my rims bent a few months later. After that, I had a slew of problems, including the O2 sensor and cam sensors going out on it, the power system dying twice(in one year), the lock on the door messing up (where the door wouldn't close at ...

My 2003 Neon SE only getting 19MPG bad gas mileage

Written by: balbers on Sep 02, 2003 01:00 PM

I bought this car specifically for its economy fuel rating 29MPG city/36MPG HWY. I know that there will be some variance, but I am barely getting 19MPG in City/HWY combo driving. I passed over buying other vehicles because the fuel economy weighed so heavy in my buying decision, plus I saw people raving about the great gas mileage here on Edmunds. This car is under ...
