Problem overview

Some Dodge Neon owners report experiencing difficulties with their vehicle not turning over even after installing a new battery. Common issues include a faulty starter, which may prevent the engine from engaging, and ignition problems such as a defective ignition switch or using an incorrect key. Additionally, some owners encounter troubles with the alternator, which can lead to battery drainage and starting failures. Fuel system problems, like low fuel pressure or dirty injectors, may also contribute to this issue. Furthermore, sensor malfunctions, particularly with the camshaft position sensor, can impact the vehicle's ability to start. Electrical issues involving components like the powertrain control module or crankshaft position sensor have also been reported as potential causes. It is advisable for owners to conduct a thorough diagnosis to identify the specific problem and take necessary repair actions.
