Air conditioner has never worked. Mjs
While driving at 35 MPH smelled smoke, and then saw the fire within the steering column. Consumer pulled over, and the fire department came out and put out the fire. Also, brakes operate intermittently, and there is a loud noise coming from the brakes. Brakes fail to operate properly especially on wet days. Brakes supposedly repaired under recall, now they are worse than before.
Headlights went out completely due to the plug that was connected to the signal lights melted.
Left turn signal did not work. Owner bought a new fuse, and smoke started coming from the steering column and filled the car. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
Electric wiring harness caught on fire, burned through caused extensive smoke indside vehicle. Defect had to be in original equipment. Fearful of other owners injury . Contacted chrysler who agreed to send an investigator in two weeks. Fear for public safety.
Smoke poured out from steeringcolumn, dealership said wiring under dash were burned. Dealer replace harness. Air conditioner did not work after the fire, vehicle has been repaired four times for both problems. Also vehicle surged forward whenever foot was taken off the brakes.
'ive had my car since 9/94 and now with 123,000 miles. I like the shape and the color and comfort of the car. I was told by several dealers to drive it to the end. I will never get what I paid for a trade-in. As of now, ive use my exetended warranty, cant afford to put in shop, 2/98 made a call to holzauers and asked about my skruntched in bits pieces rotor. They checked for squeeks and didnt tell me about a bad rotor. Squealing and no brakes. A new brake system was done and still squeaking. Now back brakes are bad. Ive had lots of bad things happen. But ive had lots of compliments ofthe color. One week after I got it a car spun rocks & scratched the hood paint. The paint job is not good. Im getting rusty spots now. Water leaked inside and holzauers rigged it to stop. When it get 90/100' hot weather, air bag light stays on, heat/air fan dont work til car cools. I use phillips 66 gas w/93 oct most of the time. 10% ethonol is bad. It will flutter w/low oct water based gas. In reverse gear it grinds and wont go into gear. Ive tolerated most of these things til it wont move or start. Im glad to have a car. At the price then 13,000$ is not fair. My rights as a consumer w/anew car have not been met. Arbitration turned me down over my windows and doors out of adjustment. Said my mileage was too high. But for months w/low mileage I was ignored. Chrysler just wanted money. I did recommend a newer neon to my aunt. She purchased one. I love my car. But without defects. My window still leaks, my left turn sig. Dont go off, brakes squeek, engine light stays on, coil wire loosens, my car shocks my boyfriend, ignition is lose, suspension is bad, car hops around bumpy corners at 30 MPH. Paint is chipping, I ve had 3 sets of new tires, 2 new batteries, a new fuel pump, airconditioning unit, oil pump is weak, engine makes crakling sound when accelarating. Ok!
While driving for a long period of time with cruise control activated, the vehicle will stall and be stuck in cruise control, which may cause an accident. Dealer replaced fuel pump/spark plugs, etc. Dealer cannot determine the problem. Please provide further information.
Engine lost power in center lane of interstate due to control module shorting out the fuel pump. Control module affected by moisture. Recall for earlier years, problem appears to affect later models also. This could have caused a very serious accident.
While driving vehicle will stall or decelerate down to 20 MPH, which may cause an accident. Dealer stated that the vehicle needs to reprogram the computer. Please provide further information.
Consumer was smelling rubber burning. Dealer replaced a sensor, 2-3 days later vehicle would skip. Mechanic changed the spark plugs, and noticed the spark plug wires laying against the motor and were melting because there was nothing there to support the wires. There is an open investigation at this time of underhood fires, id#ie-98-006.
This car has been a nightmare since I'll purchased it, I had to have my transmission replaced, my engine light keep going on, my radio keeps going out. If it's not one thing it's another. I will never buy another chrysler product. My mother has always owned chryslers but she's change her mind. My dealer only cares about the sale of the car, not the service after you sign on the dotted line. Thanks, nicole
