1995 Dodge Neon body problems

Filed Jun 18, 2008 · Body, Brakes · NJ

Peeling paint on my 1995 dodge neon. I am on my third transmission, replaced air conditioner because of smoke under hood, brakes, rotors, fuel leaking, valve cover gasket, head gasket, no oil in engine had it towed. I also in the time I own my neon I have had all kinds of problems. After replacing all this I only had one recall sent to me on the steering coupler. I had that fixed at the dealer. But, I haven't had any other recalls sent to me. 2 transmissions and alot of money spent on a lemon.

We started noticing clearcoat missing from the hood and roof of car when we were washing it. Now more and more keeps peeling away. I have noticed many other neons with the same problem. There seems to be a defect in the paint and clearcoat on these cars. Now we keep the car either in the garage or have a car cover over it to try and slow the peeling away down. I know it will get worse and then begin to rust.

The car leaks water from somewhere. When it rains the backseat floor fills up with water. There are no water trails running down from the windows so I don't know where the leak is coming from. The air conditioning has finally died completely - it has been smelling musty for quite some time. The windows roll down by themselves. If you go over a bumpy road or just drive for any length of time the windows start creeping down. After every drive I have to go around the car and make sure the windows are rolled up tight.

When it rained the vehicles trunk and floor board got wet. Shortly after the consumer started to smell a mildew smell in the cab.

Driver side door safety bar flew out of door on impact and shows it didn't take any of the crash impact, I have photo's of the car driver side door and I also have the bar that flew out of it that is straight as a arrow. I'm just glad that the door folded out and not in or my step-daughter would have been killed. She was in a coma for three days. If any further info is needed please contact me by e-mail. Thank you larry ison.

Transmission/ engine continue to stay at high idle after foot is taken off gas; windows sometimes leak due to moulding assembly, and trunk leaks on driver's side everytime it rains!

Defect in front windows -- scratches windows. Dealer says need new glass glides. Shouldn't this last longer than 4 years? Also, after the car sits on warm days the drivers electric lock doesn't work.

Brakes continually lock up in wet weather causing one vehicle collision.
