Purchased my neon brand new in sept. 2005 in the summer of 2009 I started experiencing the car misfiring and putting along with codes p0335 crankshaft sensor & p0340 camshaft sensor and both were replaced and here we are march of 2010 and still having problems with the engine (sane parts replaced)light coming on engine misfiring and driving on the way to work one morning the car just completely died luckily I wasn't in any traffice. I was able to coast to the side of the road put the car in park after three attempts the car finally started back up again and a new code appeared p0129 barametric pressure. The engine light for now has gone off, but the codes are still there, it stil rides horriblel. I love this car but it is really becoming a pain in the ass I don't know from day to day what going to happen when I get behind the wheel no wonder they dont' make them anymore.

Upon purchasing my car, brand new in 2004, I have had several problems with it. After a short year of having my car my power windows went out, shortly after my front door speakers stopped working and my radio/cd player often doesn't work correctly...cd discs will get stuck in player and continually play until car is shut off and sometimes that doesn't even resolve problem. Front brakes started to squeak and groan constantly, I took the vehicle to the dealership 4 times to have them try to fix brakes. While having brake problems, check engine light came on and car started to chug and jerk frequently. Took back to dealership, diagnostic showed #4 cylinder misfire, had plugs and wires replaced, however check engine light came back on after driving car <10 miles. Took car back to dealership 4 times to fix, on the fourth occasion they finally found a broken ring leading to the motor, problem is still unresolved. I then called warranty people to discover that my ring is covered under my power-train warranty after having been told by the dealership the ring couldn't be fixed. Was also told by the dealership that the wiring was faulty in the radio player and not the speakers.

Vehicle drives from approx 8 miles before check engine light comes on. Then after that the engine sputters and stalls while driving down the road. After several minutes of waiting the vehicle can be driven for a few miles then stalls again. After sitting all night vehicle can be driven for a short distance. Oedb2 code reader said cylinder 1 misfire.. Replaces spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, checked coil. Everything seams to be working fine. Vehicle can be ran at idle for very long time with no complications. Pcm is bad.... Their is a recall in effect but my VIN doesn't match up. See recall 94v‑033.. Been going on for quite some time now. And after ruling everything out it is the PCM... I believe the recall should be re opened to include last 8 VIN code st356500.

Wiring harness burned and short circuited some fuses. The fuel pump box shorted out. Manufacturer issued a recall, but this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. *ak the service dealer found no electrical communication from the camshaft or crankshaft sensors, found engine oil in the spark plug tube holes due to a leaking valve cover gasket, found electrical wire leading to the ECM module, camshaft and crankshaft sensors fused together, caused both sensors and ECM to fail. The engine displayed a rough idle. The consumer requested reimbursement. *sc

I was driving home on an interstate from work when there was a pop from beneath the hood and the car began to run rough and the check engine light came on. I continued to drive home and took the vehicle to the mechanic in the morning and was told that the head gasket had blown and would cost approximately $700 to repair. I was also told that it was uncommon for a head gasket to fail at 68,000 miles and that all the engine's fluids would need to be changed. I had the vehicle repaired and have noticed that now it consumes around 1 quart of oil between oil changes(3,000 mi).

While driving at 70 MPH, the consumer attempted to exit a freeway and the vehicle lurched and made a loud noise. The vehicle was pulled into a parking lot and smoke began to emit from the hood. Consumer turned the key off, but the vehicle continued to run. The fire department arrived and disconnected the battery cables. At that time the smoking ceased and the engine shut down. *ak the consumers vehicle continued to run rough and lurch forward, the check engine light would come on, , the vehicle would run with the key out of the ignition, and when the door was inadvertently shut, the door would lock. The dealer could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. The consumer was told that the fuel was delivered at a rich combustion level. The service dealer replaced the ab/master relay and the power train control module. (fuel was being delivered to the cylinder at excessive amounts and with the key out of the ignition) *sc

Since about three months after getting my 1999 dodge neon I started having difficulites with it.ranging from lights comming on and off inside and rough idle.thenthen when the wiring issue was presented for left turn signal popping on and off at will,and the whole car just shutting down while driving on the highway.steering whell locking up and no control over the functions at all then car would not start.I kept taking it in and addressing to crysler that the main engine fuse by the firewall was blowing and was told that it was highly unusual for that to happen and upon initial inspection they found the wiring harness warded from the heat of the fuse blowing and replaced fuse and sent me on my way for it only to happen 3 more times!at this point they double fused the lines and now the chk engine light stays on and it is impossible to register my car now with that light on and because of that it failed smog!! Now iam stuck with financing on a car that has tremendeous trouble that everyone claims doesnt exist.please help!!!
