1995 Plymouth Neon Highline Coupe review from North America
"It's a piece of junk that needs to be destroyed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Let's see-
Blown head gasket. GOD only knows how long it's been blown. It's estimated $400 to get it fixed.
Oil always leaking, from more than one spot. I think I've put a whole case of oil in it in the past month. My driveway is literally an ocean of oil.
Windshield won't defrost.
Had to have the brakes replaced twice. They squeak every time I put them on.
Side windows leak massive quantities of air, which make it hard to heat the inside.
It gets really bad gas mileage, have to fill it up at least twice a week.
Trunk latch sticks. Takes some effort to get into the trunk.
Seat belt latches stick, making it hard to exit the vehicle on occasion.
Half the time my speedometer doesn't work, I literally bang on it, which doesn't always fix the problem.
Had to replace the Firestone tires that blew out on it, a month after I bought it. That cost me $400 bucks.
Had to have the reverse light sensor, and reverse light bulbs replaced. That cost me $100.
General comments?
It is my first car, and I have seriously learned my lesson. I have already put more work, and money into this car than what it is worth. It has almost 100k miles on it, and I am not getting anything else on it fixed. It would just be a waste of my money.
The paint hasn't started peeling yet, but I am just waiting for it to start. I will never buy another car made by Chrysler or Dodge. They are nothing but JUNK.
