What 1996 Plymouth Neon owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My neon has been intermittently stalling out when slowing for stops, starting the vehicle and intermittently when I am at idle. This becomes an issue when I am pulling off the highway and the car stalls, thus making it difficult for vehicles behind me to stop in time. No crashes have incurred yet, but they are possible. I have taken it in 3 times now to lebanon chrysler-plymouth for repair. 11-19: fuel pump and various cables replaced. Problem returned. !2-31: idle memory needed to be reset. 1-2-02: throttle body and thermostat need replaced...all of these items were completed on different dates for the same problem. My car is currently at lebanon chrysler and hopefully the problem will be fixed completely this time, but it has been a safety issue while I drive. I leave sufficient distance between myself and other vehicles, but I cannot predict how others will drive. Thank you for your time and please let me know what you can do to help. Lisa brady.
