Six problems related to engine exhaust system have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Exhaust has a small amount of black smoke coming from it and the air-conditioner compresser whistles. I checked for an oil leak and found it to be the head gasket. Why such a huge problem is not causing a forced recall is beyond me!.
Consumer was traveling about 75mph on road and noticed smoke. Took vehicle to inspection, and personnel told him that it willl not pass.
All repairs were paid for by owner. Any recalls on listed problems?.
Noisy exhaust system. Also rear brake cylinder chirps.
The master cylinder/ brake pads and fuel tank sensor and the exhaust system failed. Please send work order.
O rings on air conditioning unit replaced on 6-23-00, evaportation coil replaced on 9-12-00. Plug, senor-oxygen, exhaust, wiring pkg-postive cable replaced 10-2-00, temperature probe replaced 7-19-01. Air conditioning failed again in August, 2001. I have also replaced the inner outer left tie rods 4-9-98, head gasket 1-28-00, oil sending unit 3-3-00, rear main seal and bedplate 5-9-00.
