Consumer Description

2004 DODGE NEON SXT. TRANSMISSION / COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE RESULTING IN ANTIFREEZE MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID DESTROYING TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. DODGE REFUSES TO HONOR THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY CITING THE COOLING SYSTEM AS THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND NOT THE POWERTRAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RARE OCCURRENCE ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, BUT IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ONLINE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR DEFECT IN THESE CARS CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. DEALER ESTIMATED 3900 PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX. *TR
