Three problems related to turn signal have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle stalled unexpectedly at various speeds when on the road. Occasionally, the left turn signal did not operate, which did not inform other drivers when making turns. Cruise control did not operate, as well preventing the vehicle from increasing or decreasing speed.
On the engine failures, both the head gasket and the valve cover gasket failed at separate times, resulting in all of the oil running onto the ground. The car was still under warranty, and the dealer repaired both problems. Regarding the brake light problem, the left turn signal often comes on when I apply the brakes. It will go off if I touch the turn signal handle on the steering column. This has gone on ever since I purchased the vehicle. Regarding the wheel problem, the car pulls to the right at highway speeds and the steering/handling has felt loose and wobbly despite having the rack and pinion replaced, a full alignment and having the tires balanced. Also, brake rotors are warped and currently being replaced. And, water leaked into the trunk and soaked items in both the trunk and on the rear floor. This, I think, has been fixed by resealing the rear lights.
I have always maintained my car regularly, but I've had so many problems with it. First of all, I've always had brake trouble, second: my turn signals will sometimes come on when I hit the brakes (or sometimes not at all), my defrost keeps breaking (only vent and bi-level will work); my horn died for no reason a few months ago, and today my car won't start (I drove to church, and it worked fine, but when I later tried starting my car, it wouldn't start. It appeared as though the battery was dead <even though I din't leave anything on. So a friend jump-started my car. It started, but on my way home, the odometer, gas gauge, and hot-cold gauges were fluctuating up and down, and the radio kept resetting channels. The seatbelt and battery lights kept flickering on and off, as did the chimes. When I got home, I charged my car, although I felt certain it was not only the battery causing the problem. Now, my car won't start at all, and I hear a clicking noise (if anything) when I turn the ignition. The gauges on my dash move up and down (even the spedometer) and yet my car remains still. The dome and dashboard lights flicker on and off, and the radio changes stations, yet receives nothing. It seems like some major electrical or computer problem. My car worked fine (with the exception of the broken horn and usual problems, until today. Also, at my 36000 check-up, the " engine" check light came on, but the mechanics said it was no cause for concern. I have had so many problems with this car. Please tell me if other persons are having similar difficulties. Could my dead horn have been caused by whatever is malfunctioning now? also, I hear wierd clunking noises many times while driving, espec when driving over bumps or around curves. My car makes squeaking noises like a bird chirping also. I have taken good care of my car, which is why now I am convinced that these must be manufacturing problems. I have even complained to the dealerships. Please help.
