Six problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When starting out when car has sat long enough the brakes make a huge howling sound when coming to a stop. It sounds like something is stuck in the brakes. Taken to shop and they that there is nothing wrong with breaks. Can't find problem.
Vehicle squeals when brakes are applied. Twice pads and rotors were replaced at 35,000 and 80,000 miles. Squealing stopped for 1 week. Started squealing again. Consumer's mechanic repaired vehicle.
Front brakes failed twice, causing accident.
My brakes squeek all the time. I've had the brakes cleaned to remove access dust and build up. . And also had the front brake pads changed. This has all happened within the last 4 months. I also notice all my realives/friends experiance exactly the same type of squeeking that my car suffers from. If there hasn't been a recall, this should be considered. I don't know how dangerous this is, but it is at the very least, annoying and very very noticable. It happens in all types of weather conditions. Wet/dry, cold/warm etc etc. Any feedback you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Rich martin.
