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!!!
Since owning this car I have had nothing but problems from 0 to 36,000 miles most were minor and were taken care of by the dealer (althoughi had to tell them what was wrong - they replaced the wrong parts the first time!). unfortunately, most of the problems occured after 36,000 miles were on the odometer and Chrysler has not been too responsive to my requests for assistnace. I have been told by the dealer that my vehicle is out of warranty and that they would be happy to fix it but who wants to pay $75 so that a technician can learn to fix my car. In frustration, I have purchased a shop manual and have started to repair these problems myself. My sun roof needs a 10 cent plastic part which Chrysler does not stock so in order to get it I need a new $500 sunroof mechanism! now, my transmission will not shift properly (in all gears) and I either need to rebuild the transmission, replace the clutch or the clutch cable. If you would like more informatoin on my saga please feel free to call me.
