2000 Plymouth Neon Fuel system Problems

“I was driving to work and this car pulled out in front of me and I pushed the brakes and I slid into the car causing me to spin around and end up on the wrong side of the road. I have replaced the brakes every year and they still squeak really bad. The transmission has leaked for the entire time I have had the car. I have to replace the tires every 3 months and A/C went out 3 years after I bought the car. I haven't fixed the a./c compressor the cassette tape player stopped working after I bought the car and it's still broke. The bulbs in the lens of the light are very dim can't drive at night. …”

Gas tank fill tube ripped out of car tank wedged in between car and ground stopping vehicle immediately. Had I been going at a faster rate of speed I could have been killed. The 4 corner straps are no way to hold a gas tank in place. I submit that improper materials and design caused the incident. …”

“I have had several problems with my 2000 Plymouth NEON. Not only have I had to replace my brakes numerous times but I have had problems with it since the day I bought it new. From engine lights going off to pcv problems to electrical problems. My newest problem is the car stalling randomly. I will just be driving down the road and then it will begin to act up. I press on the gas pedal and it slows down. I let off of the gas pedal and it speeds up. Soon after that it stalls, or dies. I would then put some fuel cleaner in the gas tank and it seems to help for a few miles. …”

“Water is coming in the trunk somehow seeping inside the spare tire area and leaking into the back of the car soaking the back floor boards. / strong gas smell in my car when operating - so bad that the windows have to cracked for fresh air - cannot find any leaks- my grandchildren are being transported in my car daily- was told that this does not sound like a defect and I will be responsible for any cost - problem since around november 2004 / brakes squeal everytime I brake -had new rotors and brake pads installed december 2003 - noise is so loud sometimes it is embarrassing.”
