SOREN,
There was a recall dated March 10, 2002 on a few of the Plymouth Neons electrical components. I'm surprised you never received that notice from the boys at Mopar.
Here's a copy of the thing.
*****************************************************
It has come to the attention of Chrysler Corp that the a problem could occur in regards to the key ignition mechanism on some of the year 2000 models of the Plymouth Neon, after some of our Procurement Divison employees took it upon themselves change the supplier of a few of the electric parts used in said vehicle.
The following steps should be taken to rectify this protentially troublesome problem:
(1)Climb, bend, distort your body so that your head is down in the footwell.
(2)Shine a flashlight up and into the region where the ignition switch body protrudes into the back of the instrument panel.
(3)If the letters L-U-C-A-S appear to be embossed ANYWHERE upon said switch.....REPLACE IMMEDIATELY with a unit that does NOT have those letters embossed upon it anywhere.
If your Plymouth Neon's V.I.N.number is between the following number's:
PN658467657999027768867736689776893076686868788
and
PN778457654927490759676587659639649326462975936
then this RECALL NOTICE could affect YOU!
Chrysler apologies in advance for any inconvenience that this could cause you, BUT we feel that keeping the time-honored NAME of Plymouth alive IS, and WILL BE our duty for many years to come.
