Can't figure out why lately the great debate over road noise has popped up
it's a 2 seat sports car come on! it's really not all that bad.........
but back on point about 8 years ago i bought a piece of crap neon for the wife, please don't go there!! anyway she had the same problem damn car would stall out and die whenever it wanted to. long story short dodge put on
something that monitored the car while driving.so when it did happen it was recorded. anyway once it stalled out dodge had a record of it...
anyway they gave up on trying to fix it and it was replaced by the lemon law.

The road noise issue is becoming more fun than Miata doors!
As cool as I think the SRT8 Challenger, Charger and 300 are, I would never buy another Chrysler-Jeep-Mitsubishi product again. They're all poorly made crap and they seem to have recurring problems across different models and brands.
1995 Mitsubish Eclipse GS (basically a Neon in GT hatchback form)
:
- Fuel pump relay or some other electronic bit goes bad. Car sits for two weeks waiting for part because every other Neon and Neon-engined Eclipse or Avenger has theirs go bad at the same time.
- Sunroof sticks and tracks and motor fails. Replaced twice.
- Lower control arm ball joints seals are faulty, allowing moisture inside, causing rust and failure of ball joint. Ball joint fails and car falls to ground after losing front wheel at 45mph. Later that week, a recall notice for the part arrives in the mail, and I start seeing other Eclipses, Neons, Talons and Avengers parked alongside the road with a front wheel missing.
- Transmission self-destructs, sending parts through bell housing.
2002 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X4:
- Electronic sensor failure causes vehicle to go into limp mode. Diagnosed but not solved in three visits. Eventually, various sensors and command modules replaced.
- I hear grinding and clicking from my front end and check NHSTA website for info before letter arrives announcing lower control arm ball joint seals are recalled. Again, lengthy wait for parts as every Liberty in the country begins to experience failures.
- Transfer case fails, dropping front propeller shaft on road.
Jap crap what????
