There are so many things wrong with this car. Thankfully, none of them mechanical, but costly still. The door panels on my 2 door keep on getting disconnected from the door frame due to substandard (in my book anyway) anchors between the door frame and the panels. This has happened numerous times on the drivers side, and once on the passengers side. It makes it very difficult getting in and out of the car. I get the issue fixed, and within an few months it's broken again. The antenna broke off at the base and flew off somewhere on the highway this winter (2004). The paint is peeling off. The trunk leaks. Some of the outside trim pieces fell off for some unknown reason. The fuel tank door broke off for no apparent reason one day while I was filling the tank. The driver's side door no longer shuts right. It has to be lifted and slammed. The driver's side window dosen't work correctly, (it fell out once) even after I had it fixed and the regulator replaced. I expect normal wear and tear on the engine, transmission, etc. , but this is silly. I am afraid to keep the car, who know's what will fall off next, landing in some unknown place on I-95! I won't be buying another Neon. Not because I have had serious issues of unreliability, but because things fall off.

Getting out of vehicle, window was down, shut driver's side door and it exploded/shattered; took to dealer for repairs, was informed that it should not have happened.

Front passenger door panel was slipping off, causing the passenger to get trapped in the vehicle. The panel was under warranties, but the dealer never received the parts. This problem caused the door panel to stick and lock the passenger inside the car.

The panels of the door are faulty, and cause the vehicle to be flooded with water in the passenger's side compartment.
