Some Dodge Neon owners report experiencing front end hops during acceleration despite extensive repairs. These issues may stem from wheel-hop, which is common during hard acceleration from a standstill, and can potentially be mitigated by upgrading motor mounts and adding a bobble strut. Additionally, some owners have noted shaking during acceleration that could be linked to transmission problems, such as bad spark plugs or worn motor and transmission mounts. Even after replacing motor mounts, persistent shaking may indicate improper installation or functionality. Moreover, clunking noises during acceleration might suggest differential issues, warranting regular inspections and prompt repairs. Lastly, bad transmission mounts can cause noticeable shuddering and excessive vibration, particularly at low speeds or during gear shifts. It is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to consult with a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and necessary repairs.
