Noises toward the back of your Dodge Neon, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Neon?

If your Neon has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Neon check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Neon, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Neon to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Neon?

If your Neon has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Neon drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Neon is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
