I bought the car brand new. No previous owners. The car is a 2002 Dodge Neon 4 door. The paint began to peel off approx two years after I bought it. I took it to a Dodge dealership and was told that Dodge would not help me since it looked like the paint was coming off because of stones hitting it. You can clearly see where the paint is about to peel more, because it bubbles up first, then splits, then peels off. The paint will literally fly off when driving and you can see it go up past the windshield. The paint is peeling off in sheets. I have read many, many other consumers with this same type of problem. Why isn't Dodge taking responsibility for this? I have contacted Dodge with no response. Now the car is past its warranty stage. Someone should make Dodge make this right.
I had purchased a 2002 Dodge Neon sxt in September of 2002. After a few months of driving my car until today October 10th, 2003 I have had my car at the dealer 6 different times for the same problem. I have an electrical short somewhere where it makes all my gauges die and flicker. The brake and seat belt light come on and chime. . . My dome light flickers like a strobe light. . My radio cuts out and sometimes my power window will not work properly. The first couple times the said clusters in the back of the dash had to be tightened. After this didn't work the next step was to replace the dashboard. After this didn't work they decided to rig an auxillary ground to my battery by splicing into the cluster on the back of the dash. The last straw was when they took my car and wanted it for a week, but I got it back in 2 days and the response was we can't duplicate it. . . So when can't fix it. We're stumped. I don't accept that as an answer and now have been getting the runaround from the dealership and Chrysler headquarters in detroit. Even so much so that a woman who worked there told my they are going above and beyond what they need to do for me as a customer by providing me with a rental. If they would have went above and beyond for me they would have fixed it the first time. . . Now I don't even want the car anymore.
