What 1995 Plymouth Neon owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The vehicle's fuel tank had a small extra hole in it which was plugged by a small vinyl plug. It appeared that he fuel ate through the plastic plug and allowed fuel to leak out. *ak
The car's computer, or ecu malfunctioned twice. No power was reaching the coil, hence there was no spark and the car would not start. At first the auto shutoff delay was replaced. But the day after the car was fixed, it once again stalled. It took one week to diagnose the problem: bad computer in the car. This might have been disastrous had it happened on the highway.
The gas mileage was very poor, the seat belt covers, tire tread, fog lights and dome lights were inoperative and there was a grinding noise when the brakes were applied. *ph
The wires that run through the gas tank one of those wires caught fire and burnt a hole in tank. Consumer feels lucky the car didn't blow up. Please provide any further information. Ts
Fuel pump drain plug leak. There is a leak in the fuel pump of my 1995 plymouth neon. I had an incident and brought it to a mechanic. The mechanic said that chrysler did not have any recalls on it and they do not sell the plug by itself. The mechanic said that I would have to buy a new fuel pump. You see the problem is that the fuel pump itself has a drain plug and that deteriorated and fuel began to leak. I think this needs further investigating. I was lucky that I caught it on time. Think of those families who will not be so lucky. I still have the same fuel pump. We just installed a plug on it.
Have had problems with A/C clutch, seized up and started smoking car is major hazard. Dt
The fuel filler neck that runs to gas tank is rusted. Consumer states when filling tank gas pours all over the ground. Consumer feels this is very dangerous. Please provide any further information. Ts
The first problem began with the timing belt breaking, I returned to casino auto sales to find a solution,their mechanic " fixed" the problem so I thought only to have the same problem occur again about a month and half later with a bad fuel pump added to the problem so I went somewhere else to have that fixed. About a week after I purchased the vehicle I was taken to sears to purchase a new set of tires, I was told by a sears rep. That I was lucky to not have had an accident because the wrong size tires were put on the car which caused me to have problems with the right passenger side tired with wobbling. My vehicle then began to smoke from the steering coloum whenever the head lights are turned on, I havent even bothered to go back to casino because I wouldnt trust them to actuaalt fix it the right and honest way do to the fact that I bought the car with cash so they basically sold me a lemon.
Fuel is leaking from rubber cap of fuel sending unit. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further informatiuon.
