Service Brakes Problems of Dodge Neon

Running lights stopped working (on a city street), when repaired, was due to a wire in the multifunction switch burning out and melting the casing of the mfs.

I shifted my car into reverse and it accelerated by itself. Shifted into neutral and could not stop crashed thru my neighbors garage door. There s no check engine light and could not stop when applying the brakes even in neutral. I checked and there was nothing under or blocking the gas pedal. No mats in car.

On 10/6/15 my son was involved in a car accident. He was merging onto the parkway when the SUV he was following came to a complete stop due to the car in front of it doing the same, but when my son tried to break the breaks were completely out causing him to hit the back of SUV he was following, with his quick thinking he pulled the emergency breaks to prevent hit SUV again as it was pulling over.

My husband was driving home from work and he got to the driveway where we live and his back drivers side wheel locked up. We took it to a shop here in ruthven and they tried to fix it. We later had to take it to a dealer in spencer iowa. Asher motors. It need a break kit because for some reason it had come apart and the spring was missing. And something to do with the e-brake now yesterday the same thing happened to the passengers side. I was reading up on the others that have a problem with recalls on there breaks and think the 2004 should also be looked at. I have talked with other Neon owners and they to have had similar problems. I called Dodge and they said they can look up recalls and my car has not had that problem but we can save our records and if it is a recall then we can file to be re paid back. Idk what all is involved in getting or even having a recall looked into but thought this was a good start.

The following is, what I consider a life threatening problem with the 2003, 2004 & 2005 Dodge Neon srt-4 model cars and possibly other models that have unsecured vacuum lines in the brake system. I have two first-hand occurrences of this problem. The first occurrence did not result in an incident, but the second caused destruction of my vehicle and could have resulted in my & my sons death. In the first incident the small vacuum line coming from the turbo boost gage and the check valve blew off the brake booster. This line is not secured to the brake booster. It is only a push fit. As a result the brake pedal became very hard and I had about 20% braking at 30-40 mph. To keep this from happening again I zip tied the check valve and line on the brake booster. In the second incident the large vacuum line from the brake booster to the intake manifold blew off the intake manifold. This resulted in a very hard brake pedal and no brakes at 70 mph during very hard braking. The result was a frontal impact and the destruction of my car. This large vacuum line is not secured at either end and also has a coupling in the middle that is not secured either. I have secured this line with clamps and am expecting to get my car to the frame shop soon. This is a problem that is known by a lot of Neon srt-4 owners and they have taken measures to secure these lines, but there are a lot of owners that have no idea that this problem exists.

Leaking really bad up under the passenger side dash and having problems with the brakes.

I have a 98 Dodge Neon. The car grinds in the front end even with new brakes. I cant not drive throw water or the car will die. Going over a speed bump at the recommended speed the front end will bottom out. I had a friend look at the car. And he said it looked fine. The brake spec. Didn't see any thing and I noticed I had two different tires on the front then the back because of the front end. Please if you find out any thing on this car it would be much obliged.

I bought my 2004 Dodge Neon around March of 2005. A couple of months later, the brakes would squeak while driving down the road. At first it was not too bothersome, but I took it to the Chrysler dealership and they told me the brakes were just dirty, and that nothing else was wrong. Now, the problem has continued to progress, and the brake squeaking is really loud and irritating. I have yet to take it back to the dealer, as it is no longer under warranty. Previously, I owned a 2000 Dodge Neon, and I went through the same problem with it. I noticed while searching through previous recalls, that my older Neon did have a recall on the "brake booster vacuum hose". When I had my older Neon fixed of this problem, I took it to midas, and they did not inform me of any recall regarding this problem; however, they may not have know. I don't know if the manufacturer's defect had anything to do with my squeaking brakes of the 2000 Neon, as I can't remember what midas did to fix the problem. However, if this is related to the recall in the 2000 model, it is a problem again with the 2004 models. The brake squeaking, although really annoying, I don't know if there's a safety problem associated with it (as I'm not mechanically inclined). I'm sure it can't be safe though, having brakes that squeak all the time, regardless of whether you're slowing down or not.

Brakes squeak usually in the morning, dealer mentioned surface rust on drums and rotors, advised to set parking brake each evening. Right rear door leaks.

When the brakes were applied, the pedal went all the way to the floor, which caused the vehicle to crash into an embankment.

Brakes hanging up grinding & squealing. I asked the dealer to check the brakes. Then 6 months later had to return car for brakes again. Now brakes are hanging up & squealing again starting in December of 2002.

I had an car wreck in my 1998 Dodge Neon (blue) in November 24,2002 due to the breaks & the tires & the air bag did not come out when I wreck & I got stuck in my seat belt out the car wreck & then I had another 1999 Dodge Neon (white) & I had car problems with it to.

When I bought my car, I had/have loud squeeking noise from my breaks when I back out of my drive way. I was told, from the dealer, nothing can be done to fix this. I thought that may be this would stop, but it is still always happening.

I had the car for just over a year and I have had the brakes replaced twice and the rotors replaced once. All of this happened within about 9 months. I have had the 2 nd pair of brakes now for about 6 months and they already need changed.
