2005 Dodge Neon Electrical Problems

I PURCHASE A 2005 DODGE NEON IN JUNE. APPROXIATELY 3 WERKS LATER I NOTICE HOW WHEN I WOULD HAVE TO STOP WHEN TIME TO MOVE FORWARD CAR WOULD STALL AND BARELY WANT TO GO THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD PICK UP. IT DID THAT FOR 2 DAYS. THE 3RD DAY I DROVE AWAY IN IT WITH NO PROMBLEMS. WHEN TIME FOR ME TO LEAVE IT WOULD NOT START. I REPLACE STARTER,BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND ALSO MADE SURE ALL THESE PARTS WHERE GOOD. MY CAR STILL WILL NOT START. PLEASE HELP ME OUT JUST SPENT $2,000.00 AND MY CAR STILL WILL NOT START. CAR WAS PARKED WHEN IT OCCURED.

I WAS DRIVING TO DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES WITH MY FRIENDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY DASHBOARD RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY STEERING WHEEL SOMETHING WAS BURNING. I THEN LATER NOTICE MY BRAKE,FOG,HIGH BEAMS, AND TURN SIGNALS LIGHT DO NOT WORK. I WENT ON A FORUM TO SEE IF IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND I SAW CARS THAT WERE BURNED AND I SAW THAT IT WAS A CONNECTION THAT WAS FAULTY. I REMOVE MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS BURNED TOO THE EXACT SAME PLACE. WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH FIRE. I WENT TO A JUNK YARD TO SEE IF I COULD GET ONE AND ALL THE DODGE NEONS THAT I GOT TO THEY WERE ALL SHOTS AND BURNED. I WANT TO GET A RECALL FOR THIS THAT CANNOT BE POSSIBLE THAT ALL THE CARS EVEN MY FRIENDS CAR HAS THAT TOO AND IT'S A DODGE NEON. CAN SOMETHING PLEASE BE DONE ABOUT THIS

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE NEON. THE RADIATOR CLAMP FELL OFF AND CAUSED ALL OF THE RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FAILED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. AT 9,000 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. BOTH REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 15,000 MILES, THE TIRES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 18,000 MILES, THE BRACKETS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED AND THE SEAT COULD NOT BE MOVED BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO AT 18,000 MILES, THE DEALER HAD TO ADJUST THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE SQUEALING AND PULSATING. THE SQUEALING AND PULSATING OCCURRED ALL THE TIME, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS. THE CONTACT PAID FOR THE ADJUSTMENT. THE CD PLAYER FAILED AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. CURRENTLY, THE REAR BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEALING AND PULSATING, AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED. THE MOTOR MAKES A POPPING SOUND DURING ACCELERATION. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE MOTOR WILL SINK INTO THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING SUPPORTING THE MOTOR IS THE EXHAUST. THE MOTOR IS ALMOST TOUCHING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS CLOSED. HE HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE MOTOR MOUNTS TO BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,764 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.
