Five problems related to steering wheel have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Air condition blows out hot air and makes a noise. Also, when she applied brakes vehicle makes a loud grinding noise. Dealership is aware of the problem.
The wiring harness on my 1996 Dodge Neon has been rubbing on the steering wheel support member. The member has sharp edges. The result was the wiring harness shorted against the steel member, melting a wire to the inside and panel lights, smoking, and causing an electrical failure. None of the fuses designed to protect the system were blown. I traced a melted wire from the light switch all the way to the radio. This is a potential for a vehicle fire. Chrysler should recall all Neon's and place a wiring tube around the harness where it contacts the support brace under the dash.
Steering column assembly replaced.
The car needs a new steering column. When applying the brakes the accelerator pedal sticks. The has automatic transmisson.
Consumer stated when driving at any speed noticed a popping sound from the steering column, resulting in loss of control. Consumer state the vehicle also pulled to the left. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer unable to determine the problem.
