1996 Plymouth Neon Expresso review from North America
"This car is a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket replacement at 12k.
Whole transmission replaced at 60k, $2500.
Wiring problem, 60k.
Service engine light on all the time for an unknown reason.
Power steering noise.
Starting problem.
The car lurches when turning to the right.
General comments?
This was my first new car, I was very very disappointed and will never ever buy another Chrysler product. I want to get rid of this piece of crap, only one problem is no one will buy it. And the stupid thing isn't even paid off yet!!!
