I had a 90 Plymouth Voyager, great car.

I then bought a new 95 Dodge Neon. POS. Leaked oil like there was no tomorrow. A/C problems. Traded it for pennies on my wife’s F-150.

I had a 95 Dodge Neon 5 Speed. The brakes constantly squeaked. Went back to the AAFES Auto Sales (Germany) twice. AAFES said there were no problems. Finally found out there had been a recall. AAFES gave in and did the work.

I usually changed my own oil. On one occasion, I didn't have the time so I took it to AAFES. The next time I tried to change the oil the drain plug "turned free" and wouldn't come out. I went back to AAFES who said I had no proof it was their fault. Even though it was still under warranty, I voided the warranty by "performing maintenance" aka "changing the oil myself." The Dodge dealer called AAFES HQ and argued with them.

I paid to replace the oil pan. several months later a new local manager reviewed the documentation from rejected warranty work. She called me in and gave me a refund check.

I owned the car for 8 years and PCSd back to the CONUS. I gave it to a member of my church who had just gotten married. I didn't have problems with the car, so much as problems with AAFES...
