One problem related to instrument panel has been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Entire instrument cluster ceases to function. Speedometer goes to zero, tachometer goes to zero, gas gauge stops, temp gauge goes to cold. This happens usually while on the highway at 70 mph. , or whatever the legal limit for a given area is. A bit disconcerting at times. After a time period, things start to work again, and then they quit again. We have owned this car since new.
