What owners wrote
After placing vehicle in park, removing key from the ignition, and when exiting vehicle, gear shift moved out of position, causing unwanted vehicle movement, resulting in the vehicle rolling forward. This caused injuries to the driver . Consumer has contacted dealer.
I just bought this 97 dodge neon with only 23,000 miles on it. The A/C has a leak in the coil , the transmission is slipping . The car is in great shape but those few things so far . The person who owned the car before me was an older gentleman who does not wreck his things. I was wondering are these problems, factory problems and/or recalls?
