1996 Neon speedometer failed and transmission fluid is leaking. After a sensor and other parts were replaced, the problem continued and it was soon discovered there was a problem with the wiring harness. A recall had been issued for the exact same problem that the consumers son was experiencing. The consumer believed his son's vehicle should be included in the recall.

The head gaskets had to be replaced, alot of people have the same problem. The speedometrs come on and go off all the time. If you hit a bump or hit the dash they might start workin agiain. That includes the gas gauege. The car jerks while driving. It dies when making a turn or at a stop sign. It cuts in and out. Auto shop is trying to pin point the problem. Not real sure whats wrong I replaced the mgr valves that didn T help. Might have to replace fuel pump, but not sure if that will solve the problem. Car is just a bad vehicle T O have gotten. A lot of other peole are havingthe same problems

Chrysler was contacted in my case and chose to do nothing about it, unfortunately I am not the only owner of a Neon that has had problems with the headgasket and the speedometer. Obviously something needs to be done about them.

Speedometer is working intermittently, consumer cannot determine correct speed, possibly due to a loose connection. Cause is unknown.

Vehicle stalls/ speedometer and gas gauge work intermittently.

- Covington, TN, USA

The problems that are occuring on a daily basis are: The gas gauge doesn't work, the speedometer doesn't work, the temperature gauge doesn't work, the mileage gauge doesn't work because the speedometer isn't working.sometimes while you are driving the lights(seat belt, etc.)will pop on making the dinging noise letting you know that everything is on(like when you 1st start up the car)but nothing starts working then but the temperature gauge.we never know how much fuel we have put in our car, how fast we are going, or if the car is running hot or cold.at one point we were having to get jump starts all of the time. This is an ongoing problem that I noticed you have had a recall on but this vehicle wasn't included.since it is having the same exact problems that is described in the recall I don't understand why the manufacturer will not fix the vehicle.this is rediculous there was a recall on the same type of vehicle, same year and everything but because there was only 15,000 cars done and our car could have been the 15,001 car on the assembly at the time we have to suffer and pay for the manufacturers mistakes.

Speedometer and odometer work intermittently. While driving along all of a sudden needle will drop to zero and odmeter will stop moving. Driver is not able to tell driving speed, and correct mileage of vehicle. It could be anywhere from a few minutes until a few days before they start working again. This has been an ongoing problem for the last month. Problem has not been reported to dealership.

Odometer failure occurred twice, the last time was in Feb of 99.

- Hafb, NM, USA

While driving at normal highway speeds speedometer starts acting erratically. The needle wave back and forth between 0 and the present speed. After about 20 seconds the needle goes to zero and remains there. In addition to having no idea what your speed is the odometer is disabled. On the most recent failure turning the car off, while in a resturant for 45 minutes seemed to clear up the problem. Upon resuming our trip we had the speedometer and odometer working.
