I bought this car...with a trade in with a Pontiac Bonneville..I had bad luck with this Neon 1995 model from day I drove..the instrument panel fail and they sometimes work..like ex..to see how much gas, and how fast I am going..odometer..and the temp gauges..they work and most of the time they do not!..I also seen a oil leak and the car seems to use alot of oil..and a very bad smell comes from underneath the hood!...I am sick and tired of me having to fix something that I feel is the default of the manufacturer of ply. Neon company should fix these things free of charge!!! I wish somebody will call me soon as possible..I am unsure of how I will be safe or the car catch on fire while me & 2 kids are inside of it..I feel there is something very wrong with this Neon!! when I paid a trade in for nicer car, I got this one because it was better fuel miles but after I got this car, I see this was a lemon from day one and I had this car for 2 years and the instruments drop all the time, and I feel it's the car manufacture should fix this immediately! I am very upset and hope you all see to it that I get this car looked into by via paid for by ply., manuf...thank you, willa in tn.
