1987 Plymouth Reliant LE review from North America
"The perfect commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
MAP Sensor, replaced at 50000 miles.
Tires, replaced at 48000 miles.
Not bad, but replaced fuel filter at 48000 miles.
Not bad, but replaced fuel pump at 48000 miles.
General comments?
This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. It had stopped running for a while and it sat for several months, but I eventually bought a diagnostic book and learned how to read the codes that are flashed by the "Power Loss" light. Once I determined the problem, the MAP Sensor, I replaced it ($15 part) and gave the car to my mom. She then drove it from Northeast Oregon to Las Vegas with no problems whatsoever. She drove it there for a year and then drove it back last month. It still runs great and has only had to have brakes replaced on it while my mom had it.
