What owners wrote
Automatic transmission does not lock into park if indicator is stopped between the park and reverse locations. The car is actually in neutral, but the indicator displays "park". Car will roll in this in this position. This has been tested in five other neons and they all portray this characteristic. This defect caused an accident which injured my wife and daughter, and resulted in $3000 worth of repairs to vehicle.
2000 dodge neon-I have had this car for 5 years and use it solely for commuting to and from work. I am a careful driver and do not abuse this vehicle. During these 5 yrs I have had the following work on this car; replaced the brakes twice within the first 2 yrs replaced the battery 3 times over 5 years replaced the transmission at 70k replaced the radiator at 70k the car performs very poorly in ice and snow. I have spun out on several major highways merely doing less than 10 MPH in snow/slush.
