As I was driving down the street, my rear passenger end was leaning a little to the side. I was a smooth paved road and it felt as though I was hitting potholes. I pulled over to the side of the road thought my tire was flat. I T0ok the car to a shop to get checked out. They stated that my rear shot blew. On 11/20/18 my defrosters are no longer working. My headlights are dim. I tried replacing the bulb. However, it still isn't bright enough to drive in the dark.
The front frame that holds engine, struts, brakes, steering are rotted out from rust causing major issues and possible injuries and death !!!!!!!!!!! Chrysler knows of these issues and wont do anything to remedy the problem.
I was leaving the parking lot Sunday and something snapped. I got out of the car and checked the front end and one wheel was one way and other was the other direction! looked underneath and saw that the ball broke out of the socket. If that would of happened on the freeway, I would be dead or severely injured.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Neon. The contact stated that while reversing from a parking space, he heard a popping noise. The contact examined the vehicle and noticed that the tire was out from its socket. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileages were 45,000.
Every year since I bought this car I've had to replace the front tires because they are wearing on the inside. Tried alignment each time I've replaced them. Took it to pep boys this time and they said it was the control arm bushing was bad on both sides. My 60,000 mile tires only made it 20,000 miles. They said the 2005 model was improved upon but they did nothing for the 2004 year. This is getting very expensive replacing tires every 20,000 miles. Especially when these are high profile tires.
