1998 Plymouth Neon 2D Coupe review from North America

"This car is a money pit!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Diagnostic test read speed sensor. Replaced the speed sensor and that didn't fix the speedometer.

Not shifting from second to third. Mechanics say the speedo gear is the problem and they will have to take the transmission apart. They tried to get to it through the sensor and it didn't fit. Transmission expert said try removing the axle to get to it and to no avail... Now, I have to have the transmission expert take apart the transmission to get to this plastic gear piece. Very expensive!!

Head gasket needs to be replaced as well...

These cars don't have enough power to pull an average hill without shifting down.

Warranty was up in February and what a fiasco.

General comments?

I have noticed the passenger seat is too close to the dash and won't go back any further.

There is also a rattle in dash by speaker and the head light switch.

I thought I was getting a good deal. I know it shouldn't be falling apart yet.

I fear that soon this car will cost as much as if I would've bought a foreign made vehicle from the start.
