This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
- the contact owns a 2000 Dodge Neon. While turning left into a parking lot the vehicle abruptly stopped. The front driver's side tie rod failed, causing that tire to lean. The travel speed was approximately 5 mph. The vehicle was towed away. The dealer replaced both tie rod ends. The current and failure mileage were both 90,898. The contact has the repair order.
Problems with air bag warning light on Dodge Neon 2000. The light was intermittent and would beep everytime the consumer would make a turn. Recall# 99V043000. The tie rods had to be replaced. When the consumer turned the air condition on, the vehicle felt as though it was going to cut off.
Had stopped at a stop sign, was proceding thru intersection when there was a loud "bang"and it felt as if something had fallen off the car.stopped vehicle and gave it an exterior inspection that found 1 tire pointing in the the expected direction and the driver's side tire pointing off in a different direction.had car towed to dealership who advised both tie-rods are broke and need to be replaced.this is a 2000 Dodge Neon with about 51,500 miles on it. Over the phone the service person advised this is not normal wear&tear and that these parts could not be greased. I had a Honda with over 250,000 miles on it and the tie rods never broke and my husband has a Chevy truck with over 148,000 miles and his tie-rods are fine. The service person advised that we would be responsible for the bill to repair this.service dept.was advised that we wanted the old parts saved and they agreed.
