1997 Plymouth Neon Body and structure Problems

“I bought this 1997 Plymouth NEON on 8/19/2005 used with 66000 miles it seemed like a solid vehicle but in sept/oct we had quite a bit of rain and I noticed puddles in my back seat area on the floor both sides,I checked around the car for open windows ect.....there was nothing I checked the trunk and it seemed damp but nothing as to make the rear floor wet like it was. …”

“Brakes redone after 3 years, head gasket replaced after 4 years, clear coat on paint also had to be replaced, muffler almost fell off, exhaust detected in cabin of car, reverse lights come on intermittently, motor mount broken, seals on windows falling down door jam. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768018”

“Head gasket failure, reverse lights go on and off sporadically, window seals and seals to the trunk are falling off, the trunk is taking in water which is draining into the vehicle's rear floor.”

“Engine head gasket has been going out since 1/00, and now severe oil leaks , ive put in 5 quarts of oil in the last 3 days! (this seems to be a reoccurring problem in nearly all 97 neons as, in my opinion, the manufacturer admits through at least two service bulletins) my check engine light comes on frequently and my oil light never goes off regardless of oil level in engine. I feel that the manufacturer is solely responsible for this head gasket repair and stronglt urge you to force them into a recall since they obviously are aware of the problem but refuse to fix thier mistakes. …”

“After speaking with other NEON owners, I have found that many have encountered the same problems-leaking interior, head gaskets busted, not to mention other problems, all of which are pretty expensive to have repaired.”
