My 2005 dodge neon entered into a collision with a 2001 ford taurus on 7/4/2014. My vehicle hit the ford taurus head-on into the passenger's side of the ford taurus at about the middle of the taurus. My seat belt had kept me in my seat, but the air bag had failed to deploy, resulting in permanent injuries which will require pain management and surgery at some point. The posted speed limit was 45 MPH, and I was estimated to be traveling at around 40 MPH at the time of impact.

My sons had a crash in a 2005 dodge neon. They were going approximately 40-45 MPH. They hit a mailbox with metal pipes, a parked durango, a parked malibu, decorative rocks in the corner, went airborne and totaled the whole passenger side front end of the car. Neither of the air bags deployed, and the seat belts didn't lock. We bought this card because of the safety features for our teenage son and they did not work.

It was raining and my husband was driving at 45 MPH on our local highway when someone pulled across both lanes and stopped. My husband had to swerve to miss hitting the other driver directly in the door and unavoidably hit him in the passenger side front end with our passenger side front end at 45 miles per hour. The impact was serious and our car was totaled. Neither air bag deployed.

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!

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.
