1995 Plymouth Neon review from North America
"A piece of junk that isn't worth riding in"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first year I got the car, I had two recalls for it. One was to have the brake lines replaced and to have the steering wheel coupler replaced. Ever since I had the brake lines replaced, the brakes squeak every time I put them on. As with the steering wheel coupler replacement, my steering wheel is extremely hard to steer at times. For the last year, my speedometer has quit working. I literally bang on it at times to get it to start, but that doesn't always work. Two weeks ago, my starter switch burnt out and it got me stranded three hours from home, which wasn't very fun. So I now consider what used to be my fun car a BIG piece of junk.
General comments?
The car is easy to handle, but I don't feel safe in it.
