Airbag failed to deploy! I was in a 6 car accident, front and rear ended followed by another hit! my 2005 Dodge Neon sxt was total right off at 33,000 miles. Not only that the airbag failed to deploy but the locking mechanism on the driver back seat had gave causing me to be tossed backwards! the locking mechanism on the steering wheel tilt also broke causing the steering wheel to drop in my lap! I now suffer abdominal pain, lower back pain, leg pain, and head injuries which I am now seeing a rehab, chiropractor doctor 3 days a week. Dodge dealers claims that there cars are 5 stars! safety equipment should work proper at all times!.
My 2005 Neon has been slipping when shifting from first to second gear. It is worse in warm weather. Transmission fluid fine and not burnt. Didn't pick up on the computer when it was checked out at a garage but no one disputes the problem. Feels like slipping on ice. Has 35,000m now and has been shaking as well. It began doing this at 30,000. Out of warranty by 6 months. Further, hit a deer last night. Significant damage to front end. Hit the deer hard enough for it to fly up onto the roof and bounce off. Body shop was surprised airbags did not deploy as the sensor was exposed and definitely hit. I'm kind of glad they didn't but after reviewing complaints this seems to be an issue. Finally. The wheels have been corroded since day one and there is no reason that the wheels should have done this let alone nearly immediately after purchase. Once again, Dodge does nothing.
My son was driving our 2005 Dodge Neon on hwy. 50 when a 2003 Dodge dakota 4x4 made an unsafe lane change in front of our car. The driver of the dakota slammed on his brakes before being completely in my son's lane and my son rear-ended the dakota (front end damage, most of which was caused by the dakota's trailer hitch punching through our Neon--trailer hitch entered to the right side of the Neon's license plate by about a foot). Air bags did not deploy should have. My son was wearing his safety belt and due to the air bags not deploying, his knees were rammed into the dash. At time of impact, my son believes he was going about 20 mph. Damage to the Neon, according to cal state auto and geico, is $7400. 00. My son had sore knees and a wrenched back plus a very sore chest from the seat belt being the only thing that held him in place (could have been much worse).
