1998 Plymouth Neon Expresso review from North America
"Feel like I can't go anywhere without calling a tow truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two months after I owned the car, my fan relay went the part was $80.00.
My starter sticks and it squeals and diesels. I replaced it and three weeks later lost my new starter.
I have had to replace the battery cables and wiring and put in a new starter.
I paid 1500.00 for my neon and have put in a 1000.00 worth of work in the five months I have owned it.
I feel the neon is a cute car, but very unreliable. I know two other people who own neons and have had nothing but trouble with them.
Frequently my neon breaks down I have a very hard time finding parts in stock for it, I frequently have to wait two or three days for the part to come in.
