2005 Dodge Neon owner complaints

My 2005 Dodge neon entered into a collision with a 2001 Ford taurus on 7/4/2014. My vehicle hit the Ford taurus head-on into the passenger's side of the Ford taurus at about the middle of the taurus. My seat belt had kept me in my seat, but the air bag had failed to deploy, resulting in permanent injuries which will require pain management and surgery at some point. The posted speed limit was 45 MPH, and I was estimated to be traveling at around 40 MPH at the time of impact. *tr

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! *tr

My 2005 Dodge neon does not want to crank. When it does crank and you accelerate then rpms increase rapidly and then fall back to about 1500 and the car starts acting like it wants to cut off. The engine light is now on and does not go off. When you come to a stop the car jumps forward quickly and then acts like it is going to cut off. Not drivable, too dangerous. *tr

My 2005 Dodge neon, began accelerating all by it self. I was not giving it gas and applying the brakes. I pulled into my driveway, it kept going, I went through my garage door. I tried to put the car in park, but the garage door slowed me down, and I then put the car in park. I read on line this has happened to hundreds of people. I tried to change the throttle sensor, that did not work. My next step is to change the oxygen sensor. I hope that works. I have been without a car for 1 week now, because I am scared to death to drive it again. It happened one other time prior to running into the garage. It just seems like there should be some type of recall as this is very dangerous. I was lucky it was my garage door instead of a human being. It cost me 800 to replace the garage door,

For 3 to 4 weeks, intermittent braking problems with car. After driving about 3 miles from start, stopping at 4 stop signs, passing through 3 traffic lights no problems - driving using cruise control set at 55-65mph, driving up hill, often the engine is accelerating , when I put my foot on the brake because I want to slow down - the brake pedal does not move - I can't push it down on the first try. Until yesterday, the second attempt at braking worked normally 100% of the time. The cruise control does not disengage until the brakes can be engaged. Yesterday I had to try the brake pedal three times before I was able to push the brake pedal down and engage brakes. Have been able to recreate problem several times, the incident yesterday occured when I was trying to recreate. Problem has

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.

About 1 year ago, the vehicle started by itself when I was in the car and engaged the automatic door locks. Then on this occasion I was laying down in my room and must have rolled over on the remote and engaged the door lock button. The car started in the garage. Luckily, it was discovered in <5 minutes and the car was turned off. I have taken the batteries out of the remote and am no longer using it. I am taking the car in for diagnostic testing/repairs, but I don't think that I should have to pay for this since it is a safety issue. *tr

Switch started hanging up and would not go to lock position. Keep working shifter and switch until it goes to lock position so I can remove key. *tr

The 2nd time in two years that I have had to replace the cam shaft position sensor . The check engine light comes on and there is no power in acceleration. *tr

While having the cruise control on, the engine will all of a sudden race/accelerate beyond what it should. *tr

I own a 2005 Dodge neon (Chrysler) and the paint is coming off the car. The dealership says I have to pay for the fix when it is a fact that the vehicle has never been in an accident/collision. How/why would a two year old car loose its paint so fast. What I need to know is if this vehicle was ever recalled. The dealership is so busy trying to protect itself that it did not research any or all recalls on this vehicle. *tr

Consumer was driving approximately 30 MPH and while coming to a right turn lost control of brakes and steering. Vehicle hit and went up on the curb. The front passenger's side wheel was damaged.*ak

Shortly after I bought this car, used, I noticed a deformity in the windshield. Over the last year it has doubled in size, and now there is another one. The first one was on the passenger side, and was more of an nuisance, but the second one is right in my line of site when driving. It causes whatever is outside to be blurred, and contorted. It is almost like looking through a coke bottle, and is very distracting. *tr

Chrysler dealer zanetti sent a notice of a recall for my car. The dealer does not service my vehicle nor did I purchase it there in the bronx, ny. When checking with NHTSA database and the local dealer in white plains, there is no such recall number "cjd021210". These types of notifications are ficticious and should not be used to solicit customers for their gains. *tr

I tried to latch seat belt on my Dodge neon2005 but it wouldn't latch the female end is broken, car has 24,000 miles on it. *tr
