I had a neon that I bought new in 99. 800 miles and 3 weeks into owning it, it put a piston through the front of the block. I get it back with a new motor just about a month later, then 2 days after that the trans locked up and the clutch and flywheel dinitegrated. I suspected that the engine was somehow installed wrong causing the trans failure. a month after that I get the car back and was able to drive it for 2 days before the trans seized on me again (at speed) breaking an axle and destroying the gears in the trans, again I suspect it was the installers fault. It took a month to get it back and the car made terrible noises after that and it wouldn't track straight. I had it for another month of which it spent most of that time in the shop trying to be fixed. Dealer offered to give me a new car but as soon as they were served with papers I got my full amount back minus mileage. in just about 5 month of ownership the car had under 1200 miles on it and I had it in my possession for less than a month.
