1995 Plymouth Neon Sport review from North America
"A headache when you buy one."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gaskets blew at 92,000 miles driving normal speed.
Speedometer worked when it wanted to.
Had to bang the dashboard to make the lights work at night.
An Electrical problem at 79,000 miles.
The Rotors warped at normal speed.
The Axle broke at 80,000 miles.
The transmission replaced at 82,000 miles.
The Computer malfunctioned and replaced 89,000 miles.
General comments?
I had called the dealer and asked them how much it would cost if I were to have it serviced there they wanted 2500 dollars. I Didn't want to pay that much so I junked the car. It would have cost as much as the car would face value at that point.
I had gotten headaches from Chrysler
I will never buy a Chrysler product again. Chrysler should have recalled all the neons with the head gasket problems. I shouldn't have to pay for head gaskets when they shouldn't go in the first place. Chrysler should stand there ground when it comes to their cars. They may design good looking cars, but their engines are crappy.
