My first complaint would be about the paint. my car has been peeling for the past 2 years now, it bubbles then peels and gets bigger and bigger every day. it is now peeling in 6 spots, the largest is the size of a watermelon. very unhappy!!!! second, the brakes are horrible, the squealing of metal on metal has been occurring since day 1 of getting my car. i was recently driving on a major highway and my steering wheel began shaking like crazy. i pulled over and everything seemed fine. i continued to drive but could not accelerate faster than 60km/hr. i tried driving my car to the mechanics but in the end did not get very far. i pulled over once again and noticed smoke coming from my drivers side front wheel. i also noticed the wheel well caught on fire due to the friction. my car was then towed and my mechanic diagnosed the problem as a ceased caliper. beware, this was scary. my whole front end brake system had to be replaced. too add, i find it's hard to see at night due to a defective plastic that covers the head lights. they are foggy and don't give out enough light. lastly, i find that the sealants on the windows of my two door are horrible. i have to push on my window when closing it in order for the window to seal. this is a big problem, my car was stolen because of this problem. a recall should definitely be considered for the paint, breaks and headlight covers and windows/seals!!! *jb

This is a known problem that daimler chrysler is well aware of. they should recall this and many other neons instead of making me pay for the repair myself. if one logs onto the internet it becomes painfully apparent with a quick search that thousands of people have the same experience as me.
Paint has bubbled, cracked and peeled off leaving the metal bare. rusting has already started in several spots and it getting worse. have been informed that paint peeling is a factory defect but chrysler is denying fault.no safety defect listed in the summary.
Oil light comes on all time,and there were puddles of oil on ground. took vehicle to a dealer, and they said that engine gasket had an oil leak.*ak according to the investigation done by consumer, the cause of the problem lies on detective head gasket used by the manufacturer of the vehicle. *yh
