1996 PLYMOUTH NEON Unknown Or Other Problems

I was driving when the instrument cluster gauges started moving up and down like if the instrument cluster was making false contact with the connector to get a calibrated read on the speed, gasoline, temperature gauges

PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE ROOF AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY PAINT ON MY 1996 PLYMOUTH NEON PEELING OFF. ITS NOT LIKE IT ON THE ROOF OR HOOD ITS ALL OVER THE CAR THE TRUNK, THE DOORS, THE HOOD AND THE ROOF ARE ALL PEELING. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM EITHER.*JB

MY NEON HAS A PROBLEM WITH PAINT PEELING. LARGE SPOTS OF PAINT COME OFF ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, BUT PRIMARILY ON THE BACK AND ON THE ROOF. I CAN'T EVEN WASH THE CAR, BECAUSE EACH TIME I DO MORE PATCHES OF PAINT COME OFF. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON EVERY NEON THAT IS THE PURPLISH (PERIWINKLE) COLOR I HAVE SEEN. IS THERE SOME KIND OF PAINT DEFECT WITH THIS PARTICULAR COLOR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE PAINT WAS ONLY UNDER WARRENTY FOR 12 MONTHS, AND SINCE IT WAS A 1996 AND I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO. I REALIZE IT IS AN OLDER CAR, AND I WOULN'T COMPLAIN IF IT WAS NORMAL WEAR ON A CAR, BUT THIS IS MORE THAN NORMAL AGING.

ALL GAUGES WILL GO OFF AND COME BACK ON WITH IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES OR WHEN TURNING ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON THEY MAY COME BACK ON. *JG

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS 1996 PLYMOUTH NEON, IN MARCH 17,1997 THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. STARTING WITH CAMSHAFT SEAL. OIL LEAKAGE AROUND HEAD GASKET MANY TIMES, RADIATOR RECALL, MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE, BREAK REPAIRS, MASTER CYLINDER SEALS SWOLLEN, RUBBER TRANS RETURN COOLER LINE CRACKED, REBUILT TRANS AND REPLACED SEALS, FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, REPLACE REAR MAIN SEAL, REPLACE PAN GASKET, REPLACE OXYGEN SENSOR, AND RECENT TRANS FAILURE.

THE CAR IS FIVE "5" YEARS OLD WITH 45,OOO MILES ON IT. WHILE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I THINK THE PAINT JOB SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD ANYTHING OVER THE WARRANTY TIME LIMIT WAS TO BAD. NO SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

A 1996 CAR WITH 32,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT HAVE PAINT FLAKING OFF IN MANY DIFFERENT PLACES OF THE CAR. RIGHT DOWN TO METAL THE PAINT THAT COMES OFF COMES OFF LIKE PAPER!!VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PLYMOUTH AND HOW THEY HAVE HANDLED THIS PROBLEM WITH US!!ALL THE DEALERS TRY TO PASS US ON TO THE NEXT WITHOUT GIVING US ANY INFORMATION OR EXPLAINATION FOR THESE HAPPENING!!!

NO SUMMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

THE PAINT ON THIS CAR IS COMING OFF IN GOOD SIZE PIECES AROUND THE ENTIRE CAR. IF IT WAS THE HOOD, THAT WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT THE SIDES, ROOF AND TRUNK IS NOT NORMAL. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT STEPS CAN BE TAKEN TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER REPAINT AUTO. NO SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

WHILE DAUGTHER WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ENGINE RED LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD. THEN SHE STOPPED VEHICLE AND CHECKED UNDER HOOD WHERE OIL/ ANTI-FREEZE WAS LEAKING FROM ENGINE HEAD GASKET. *AK

NO SUMMARY

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WAS CUTTING OFF AND STALLING, AND SOMETIMES CONSUMER COULDN'T GO OVER 30 MPH. WHEN CONSUMER TRIED TO GET OVER 30 MPH, VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND CUT OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ALSO, AIR CONDITIONER HAD PROBLEMS, AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. DEALER HAD TO CHANGE THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR SERVICE ABOUT 10 TIMES, AND THE CONSUMNER JUST GOT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE SHOP ON FEB 17TH. DEALER CAN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *AK
