1997 Plymouth Neon Expresso 2.4
Summary:
Rotten rotten costly costly chunk of metal
Faults:
Odometer cable out 1 week after purchase.
Serious knocks not long after.
Racket Pinion steering went out while driving with the kids inside - went all over a 3 lane road and back hitting both sides.
Head gasket out now at 78000 and water is in oil.
Brakes squeal like a tortured cat when starting out no matter what you do to resolve the matter.
General Comments:
Horrible piece of mechanical and engineering work. Unsafe and a rotten buy. if you like your money do not waste it on this (I hesitate to call it a car). Plymouth should be ashamed they haven't recalled and reimbursed every buyer for both new and used...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 1997 Neon, and I have problems with the brakes squealing also.
