Person sold an inoperable vehicle. Using verbal manipulations he claimed in the add and later face to face that the vehicle has a clean title (carfax report shows it as salvage with multiple reported accidents and 8 service history records), certain mileage (148000 claimed, 223.300 in reality), he was the 2nd owner (3 owners in reality) and no major issues - was told in person during the sale operation, also told he was selling the car for his friend thats why there was a different person name on a title ((xxxxx)). Seller was convencing and did a great job at confusing igor and decieving him. The seller lied about the smog check also and took advantage of the buyer - the car didnt pass the smog check the next morning 6/27, and later the same day didnt start anymore for good. Seller send a text message to igor that same morning saying that car is overheating and water has to be placed in the radiator daily, but it's a very dangerous procedure as the water inside the tank is of a boiling temperature and can splash uncontrollably under pressure resulting onto an injury, which was a mockery as by that time a car was marked as inoperable by a mechanic and that was a miracle that it made it to the curbside. Currently it is absolutely dead metal. The car was fraudlently and intentionally made to work just one day specificly to make a sale. (xxxxx) intentionally gave out the false facts about the car and misled (xxxx) towards the sale completion. (xxxx) trusted the seller, false info and fake odometer pictures thats been forced at him, as he couldnt see things clearly in person and was misled and verbally manipulated. All records as documents on this car, add screenshots and text messaging between (xxxx) and seller (xxxx) are available as proof.

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.

I have a dodge neon 2005 and I know a few other people that have them to. I have been getting like a stall and engine light coming on so I took it to auto zone and they say it's the cam sensor. Three out of the five people I know with neon say they had the same thing happen and when I research it it's all over the internet why is this not a recall since so many people are having issues with it.

My 2005 dodge neon, began accelerating all by it self. I was not giving it gas and applying the brakes. I pulled into my driveway, it kept going, I went through my garage door. I tried to put the car in park, but the garage door slowed me down, and I then put the car in park. I read on line this has happened to hundreds of people. I tried to change the throttle sensor, that did not work. My next step is to change the oxygen sensor. I hope that works. I have been without a car for 1 week now, because I am scared to death to drive it again. It happened one other time prior to running into the garage. It just seems like there should be some type of recall as this is very dangerous. I was lucky it was my garage door instead of a human being. It cost me 800 to replace the garage door, and that was a friend giving me an incredible deal. You cannot replace a human life. Please have dodge neon give a solution to fix this problem, and warn people about it. Arizona december 26th, 2011.

About 2 years ago my 2005 dodge neon was not idling properly and shortly thereafter would not start. I brought my car to a mechanic and had a tune up and they had to replace a spark plug. Last week my car began acting in the same manner however this time began vibrating. I brought my car again to the same mechanic. He replaced the brake shoes and told me I needed engine mounts. When I went onto the internet to research the cost of these parts I came across numerous similar complaints. One site listed this as a major problem with the 2005 dodge neon and people have written they have had collisions due to this problem. Also noted was the problem keeps returning and costs the owners alot of money. I feel this should be looked at seriously.
