Entire electrical system failure while car was in operation + premature activation of airbag. driver was forced to claw the airbag out of his way in order to maintain control of the vehicle, and steer it off the highway. there was no known tampering with the electrical system prior to this; car was used, but had only body work done to our knowledge. heat damage to electrical system was so extensive that car was considered a total loss. driver suffered some facial and neck injury--possibly others. *tr

2005 Dodge Neon

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.

It was another sunday afternoon, we had just left church (me, my husband, and 2 year son and was on our way to see a friend and her newborn baby at the hospital. on our way to the hospital a truck pulled out from the access road from i-20 directly into our paths. we were traveling under 50 mph and had the right of way....all we could do to avoid the truck was to hit the brakes. unfortunately, that was not sufficient. our 2004 dodge neon struck a chevyrolet avalanche pick up. the impact was on the front passenger side where it completely destroyed the right front fender, grill, headlights, and the hood is now a rainbow over the engine. the ugliest part of this though, is that i was the passenger in the front seat, the passenger's air bag as well as the driver's air bag never deployed. in addition, the seat belt never locked, and i was thrown forward with the impact of the car. my forehead struck the windshield, then the dashboard in front of me. my chest also hit the dashboard, and my knees were forced up under the ...
