1995 Plymouth Neon Highline from North America - Comments

Replaced motor mount at 75000 miles.

Tires blew out at approx. 84000 miles, but that was due to construction on the highways.

Replaced rear driver's side strut at 85000 miles.

Replaced driver's side steering knuckle and wheel bearing at 85000 miles.

And really, there's still quite a bit left to replace, like mufflers, batteries, that rubber seal under the hood, and much much more!

After reading all these reviews for the '95 Neon Highline, I'd have to say I'm pretty lucky. I have had my share of problems, and they all piled on top of me at once, leaving me without my car for a solid month.

As far as performance goes, the Neon's been fairly good to me. I like having a good deal of control over acceleration, and it's good about that.

But my car is boring the heck out of me. I am so very tired of seeing so many Neons that look exactly like mine. Plus, they look way too much like Cavaliers. It hurts me to see so many people buying new ones.

So, with all the problems I've had, and am anticipating, I'd rather just sell it and buy a nice, reliable car, like a Honda CRX. And I'll never buy American again. They bore me.

Well, it's me again. the guy who wrote the review. one week ago, the f'ing neon broke down on me on the highway. vapor lock? malfunction in the computer module due to heat? hell if I know.

Today, same thing, only this time it happened three times on the same trip. a trip that usually takes an hour took two and a half because the neon would sputter out and die. I'd wait 20 minutes, and it'd be fine again. 15-20 minutes more driving, and I'd have to pull over again. this happened three times, and keep in mind that it's 95-100 degrees out while I wait for the stupid thing to work again.

I hate my car. I hate it good. I wanna kill my car.

While I like my Neon, it also has had problems sputtering and then stopping on hot days, sometimes several times on the same trip as with your description. My garage could not find anything wrong. Did you find the cause of your problem? Fuel pump, computer? Let me know. Thanks. markknutson@prodigy.net.
