I love how the neon looks and handles. I've always love dodge. But for the love of god I can NOT get this car to stop falling apart. Ive had the car 2 years and so far this is what I personally had fixed. Fog lights. Back drum breaks (rear driver side break locked my entire tire up on THREE sperate occasions. One time blew my break line) Break line. Break light switch (TWICE) . Alternator and serpentine belt. Oil pressure switch (TWICE). Spark plugs. Front breaks. Tires. Alignment. Rear struts. (Strut mount blew on highway) Tie rods. Lower control arms. Vertical bushings. Sway bar links. Outer cv boot. Fixed broken exhaust. And other small things. Right now I have a power steering leak and transmission leak. And I'm 99% sure my head gaskets are going. Ive done everything to keep my baby up and running but she is litterally BEGGING for death at this point. I love my car I wish it would stay in one piece. I had a dodge status before this and it was a tank. Honestly very disappointed with the neon. On a totally unrelated note, anyone wanna buy a 2003 dodge neon? It's bright yellow 😀

i bought my 2003 doge neon with 98k miles on it. i thought this would be a perfect car if i took care of it, and always did the normal maintenance. i was VERY WRONG! this car is nothing but a money pit. and you will put every cent you have into garage bills. i only owned this car for one year. and i probably spent $15 thousand dollars in repairs. it was breaking down at least once a month. when it hit 120k miles the tranny went. when the mechanic told me it will cost $2000 to fix it. i decided to sell it. TRUST ME WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing but tranny issues

I bought this car new toward the end of 2002. Drove fine for the first 1 1/2 years then started having tranny problems. Would jerk real hard when down shifting almost locking the front tires up. Dealer replaced every internal part and the problem still wasn't fixed. Took it back about 2 months later and they said they could not find anything wrong. Well another 4 months or so and it started it again this time it was the harness and they replace it. Well another 3-4mths it had again. they replace the speed sensor and harness. and now for the 10th time total they are replacing all internals in the tranny again. Do not buy this car used.

This year it seems that DaimerChrysler has put a little more work into the Neon's styling, especially in offering the new SXT model which incorporates many sporty features such as a cd player, 6-speaker stereo, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, aluminum wheels, keyless entry and a rear spoiler standard at a discounted price (compare price of equally equipped SE model). I opted to purchase the 5 Speed Manual transaxle for the extra acceleration it provides- almost 5 seconds faster to 60mph than the 4 Speed Automatic.
Don't buy it!

At 52,000 miles I had to replace the transmission and again at 87,000 miles. Had to replace the entire cooling system as well as the fuel sensor. Nothing but very expensive issues with this car! Don't buy it!
