1996 Plymouth Neon Highline review from North America
"A piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine problems the first week I bought the vehicle. It was a defect and the Dodge dealership fixed it.
All of the electrical system, in the dashboard went out at 45,000. It was expensive to fix; had to get an entire new system.
The paint is peeling and bubbling horribly. To get a new paint job costs more than the car is worth.
General comments?
This car is not worth anyone's money. I'm very upset it's resale value is pretty much nothing. It has caused me too many problems and stress. It costs more to fix the problems than the car is worth. My current problem is the peeling and bubbling of the paint; it's horrible.
