It's a 11 year old Neon. It lasted 7 more years then it was designed to. Consider yourself lucky it lasted this long.

Do an available voltage test on your battery cable at the under hood junction box. It's the first place power goes from the battery. I just fixed mine and when hot that one foot piece of wire was consuming 8v. Replaced it and all problems solved.
