NHTSA complaint #890820 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR TO FAIL ON A CAR WITH ONLY 54,139 MILES IS UNHEARD OF. THIS 1995 NEON HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF SINCE NEW OVER THE LAST 5 1/2 YEARS. THIS DEALER REPAIR WILL COST ABOUT $800. THIS TYPE OF COMPONENT SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. REGARDING THE EXCESS NUMBER OF PAINT CHIPS ON THE CAR--IT HAS CHIPPED EASILY DOWN TO THE PRIMER EVER SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. IT HAS DOZENS OF CHIPS ON THE HOOD AND FRONT FENDERS AND EVEN ON THE ROOF. I HAVE 2 OTHER CARS-ONE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND THE OTHER IS 20-BOTH WITH ORIGINAL PAINT THAT DON'T EVEN CHIP AT ALL. THIS 1995 NEON'S HOOD PAINT IS SO COVERED WITH TOUCH-UP PAINT THAT THE HOOD NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED. THIS PAINT IS SO WEAK IT SEEMS LIKE THE ACTION OF RAIN HITTING IT IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A CHIP ON ITS SURFACE. ONCE AGAIN, THIS CAR IS "BABIED"-WASHED AND WAXED BY HAND SINCE NEW AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

ALL WHO BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND SYMPTOMS THAT LEAD UP TO THE PROBLEMS. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO TAKE ACTION AND KEEP THE GOOD NAME THAT THEY USED TO HAVE? WE ALL PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THESE CARS AND NOW WE ALL MIGHT AS WELL JUNK THEM AND BUY NEW CARS. IN THE LONG RUN IT WILL SAVE US ALL A LOT OF MONEY!
NHTSA complaint #716084 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I HAVE TRULY BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. THE COMPLAINTS ARE THE MAIN ONES. HOWEVER, THEY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD ACTUALLY CONTEMPLATED ON CHECKING OUT THE LEMON LAW, BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT. THE CHECK ENGING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM ,THIS FINALLY WAS FIXED AFTER 6 MONTHS OF REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH IT. A YEAR LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS PROBLEM I WAITED AN EXTRA MILE TO PULL OFF. MY ENGINE WAS BLOWN ! I HAD HIT A BUMP, WHICH INTURN PUNCTURED THE OIL FILTER. I AM REALLY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE.
