That was just one of my problems with this car. It was the P something that went out. Viking dodge tried blaming the radio we put in but that was BS since it was installed soon after purchase. They wanted $900 to fix but my fiance went in and bitched. Well then all of a sudden it was only $300. $100 of it was just to unclog a hose. Now I have 56,000 miles and the fuel pump went out. We took to it to 2 different dealerships and both told us nothing was wrong. And Boom not even a month later I was stranded on the side of the road in freezing winter weather waiting for road side assistance. Now I could understand these problems if the car was not properly maintained and was 10yrs old. But that is not the case it is only 2 years old and properly taken care of. I have had more problems with this car than I did with my car that was 11 yrs old and had 140 something thousand miles. I would never recommend this car or the dealership I purchased it from. Everyone I know that has had a neon has had some gripe about the car.

well Ive had my 05 for about 9 months it had 20,000 on it when I got it I have had nothing but pure problems both control arm bushing were blown which when i took it to the dealer they said that they didn't see anything wrong with them they had 3 guys look at it and say the same thing then I walked out and pointed out that they ripped out on top I have a clunking in the front end they told me that radiator bracket is bent and the factory warranty don't cover that I had to replace the brakes on it. Also the transmission acts up .It acts like it drops out of gear and slips every once in a while but the dealer tells me that there is nothing wrong with it cause their computer would pick it up but their not there ones whose driving it I feel like they just didn't want to fix it. Now that my factory warranty is up I bet they would tell me it needs fixed but Ill do it myself before I will pay their outrageous price. and now its sitting at my job broke down if u turn the key over the car does nothing the starter don't make a noise and I don't even hear the fuel pump kick on we jumped a wire from the battery directly to the starter and the car turned over but wont start. I have had more problems with this car than I ever had with my old one which has 250000 miles on it and its still going I will never buy another one . And now Im left searching the net trying to come up with a solution this car drive me nuts
