Bought car from father in law, he bought the car new. He had no problems with it.soon after I bought from him in 2000(it was still new!),power windows quit working then started working again.cruise control went out, still dont work. Front end crash 2003 may, 4783.45 in damage, air bag did not deploy at 40MPH !!! I had car repaired by non chrysler garage as per advice of erie insurance co.
I have had the same thing happen to two different 2000 dodge neons. My headlights go out and then I have smoking around the steering wheel. The wiring harness to the headlights has burnt up. When I went to the dealer they said it was not a recall and my vehicle is not under warranty. It will cost about 3000 to replace.
