2000 Chrysler Neon LE Sport review from North America
"I like this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a short in my brake lights, and I found the problem was the clutch, when depressed, wore out the wires that came from my brake pedal, and were causing the fuse for my brake lights to blow.
I was unaware of this problem for the first six months of owning my car, and it took another month to figure out where the short was. I suspect this is not an isolated incident, and there may be more people on the road without brake lights.
The power steering rack is leaking. This is not a serious problem, but it costs about $1000.00 to fix.
I had my rear brake cylinders replaced at 91000 km. This cost me $450.00.
When the engine is cold, my valves make a tapping sound. Once the engine is warm, the sound disappears.
