Where should I start? The Neon (Peon) is a piece of rotting blank. From day one, it has given me problem after problem.
The head gasket of course has blown 3 times and I constantly have to argue with the dealership to get them to pay for it.
On top of the head gasket problem, my speedometer and odometer have decided to stop working unless I punch the console. Punching the console seems to wake the electronics up.
What else? Reverse lights decided they were tired of working. They just shut off one day and never came back on.
Most recently, the car decides to overheat if I drive it for more than ten minutes.
In conclusion, do not ever buy a Neon. Although it may look cute and drive like a dream for the first 30000 miles, its goodnight after that.
I recently purchased a 96 neon sport and for the most part I am pretty happy with the car after I replaced the whole motor, but the dash problem is really easy to fix just pop the dash off take the gauge assembly out pull the wiring harness off the unit take the screws off the back about 12 of them I think pull the circuit board off. on the back where the harness plugged into take your soldering iron and touch the 10 soldered joints on each of them put it back together and it will work beautiful.
