Three problems related to wheel bolts have been reported for the 2000 Dodge Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Dodge Neon based on all problems reported for the 2000 Neon.
4 (out of 5) broken lug studs on one wheel. One lug nut/stud was already broken when going to change pads/rotor. Removing remaining 4 lugs, 3 of them broke off (almost as if they were cross threaded).
Three of the studs broke while consumer was changing the tire.
The thread on the wheel studs gets shredded, due to corrosion. This is caused by a design flaw in the crown covers, which allows moisture and road salt to get into the thread, and seize up the lug nuts. Consequently when the tires are removed or rotated the thread strips, per an engineer.
