I bought the car new which would not start for test drive was told someone left dome light on. After jump, it worked fine for a few thousand miles. Then went to car and would not start one day. There was no battery light on or any warning. It has happened 2 more times since then. Rear brakes wear out within a few months from replacement. Dealer fixed once and I have incured the expense several times since. I can not even afford to do it anymore leaving me to take a risk of driving with bad rear brakes. The most recent of events to occur this morning my drive belts broke. After taking vehicle to dealer to replace them I was told the belts broke because the tensioner pulley had tilted. I was also informed from service tech that they see lots of them come in like that and that they were surprised that there had not been a recall or at least a tsb. The car is paid for and was bought because I needed more reliable transportation than my previous vehicle. Sad part is my previous vehicle is still running with minimal repairs made to it since I had it. Also I have called daimler chrystler and emailed them on numerous occasions and have been told there is nothing they can do about it.

When attempting to have all the federal safety agency issued safety recalls completed on my vehicle service repair center manager. Stated they only applied to certain neon's not all of the 2000's. I have yet as of this date been able to accomplish the federal safety agency recall id#99v043000, #99v114000 nor have I ever received the addendum referred to in the federal safety agency recall id #00v366000. In recognition of the recent problems experienced w/my vehicle, overheating, inoperable driver side window, horn & airbag system and my having also experienced brake problems, I feel these recalls are essential. However, they are going unrecognized by annapolis tate dodge.
