Paint chips on the black trim.
When getting on highway, in 4th gear it starts to bog down and you have to back off the gas.
Speedometer goes out sometimes, mostly in hotter weather. So to keep it going I have to run with the hood popped.
Have had to slap the dash sometimes to get the control lights to come back on.
Clutch cable went out almost a month after I bought the car.
Check engine light comes on and off whenever it pleases.
Water pump went bad at 125000 miles.
Power steering just went out yesterday (126,000 miles).
Seat belt slots (where the tab fits into the slots) have lost 2 plastic covers.
It leaks oil slowly, causing me to add a quart every other week or so.
Trunk leaks slightly, but enough to ruin the carpeted interior.
I sold my 1991 Chevy S-10 to be better on gas, so I could save money. Well the money I saved has gone into fixing and maintaining this car.
I have read a lot of surveys on here and they mostly say the same thing about this car. Sure it's inexpensive and "cute" but I want a car to get me from point A to point B without having to worry about what is going to go wrong next.
My 1995 Neon has a problem running any distance when it is hot outside. It seems like the fuel pump stops or shuts down. I can sit for 15-30 minutes and am able to continue?? Does anyone else have or had the same problem? If so what did you do to fix it?
