Here are some more information for Dodge Plymouth:

Each year the Consumer Reports magazine publishes a list of used cars to avoid based on serious problems reported by its subscribers. This list encompasses convertibles, coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, minivans, sport-utility vehicles with both truck and car frames, and pickup trucks. It identifies these vehicles by model and model year.

The difference between an automobile manufacturer's share of entries on this list in 1992 and its share in 2010 provides one measure of a manufacturer's change in product quality. One limitation of this measure is that it indexes product quality change only for those automobile models that fall at the lower or bottom end of a manufacturer's product line. Another limitation is that it does not take account of the large increase in the number of automobile model offerings and automobile sales by manufacturers based in Europe and Asia that has occurred from 1992 to 2010, which should have occasioned some decline in the shares of the three large U.S.-based manufacturers if their quality at the lower end has remained rather constant. Nonetheless, it is a useful guide for roughly gauging improvement or decline in quality.

The foregoing measure accords Ford Motor Company the greatest change in product quality. Ford's share of CR's list of used cars to avoid fell from 23% in 1992 to 10% in 2010. This gives Ford a 13 percentage point improvement over the 18-year period. The magnitude of this change, combined with the absence of similar changes by the other two U.S.-based manufacturers, suggests considerable improvement in the quality of Ford's vehicles at the lower end of its quality spectrum.

Volkswagen AG has had the second greatest change by this measure. Its share of CR's list of used cars to avoid rose from 2% in 1992 to 11% in 2010. This gives Volkswagen a 9 percentage point drop in quality over the period, although some of the percentage point change may reflect an increased model offering in the U.S., or an increase in U.S. sales of existing models sufficient to provide the consumer survey data necessary to rate more of the existing models, or both.

The Chrysler group has had the third greatest change. Its share of CR's list of used cars to avoid fell from 25% in 1992 to 18% in 2010. By computation, this is a 7 percentage point improvement. However, in this instance, the percentage point change may not represent an improvement, for two reasons. The first is that in 1992 the Chrysler group had 5 lines - Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Plymouth, and Eagle - and today only 3 of these lines remain, the other two having disappeared before 2002. The second is the increased number of model offerings by foreign manufacturers noted earlier. Consequently, the reliability stature of Chrysler's lower end product offerings may not have changed, or may have changed very little.

For the remaining manufacturers with more sizable sales in the U.S., there has been little change in this measure's values. General Motors Corporation's share of CR's worst has had a nominal 2 percentage point change from 43% in 1992 to 41% in 2010, Nissan Motor Company's share has risen 3 percentage points from 0% to 3%, Toyota Motor Corporation's share has risen 1 percentage point from 0% in 1992 to 1% in 2010, and Honda Motor Company's share has remained unchanged at 0%. General Motors' modest 2 percentage point share decline may represent a slight, or greater, worsening in automobile quality at the lower end of its quality spectrum, when account is taken of new foreign model offerings, but Toyota's 1 percentage point increase almost certainly represents a decline in automobile quality among some of its many new and redesigned models of the past decade, as does Nissan's 3 percentage point increase.

In summary, by change in manufacturer shares of Consumer Reports' used cars to avoid from 1992 to 2010, Ford has increased the quality of its products at the lower end of its quality spectrum, the Chrysler group may have increased the quality of its lower end products some, Volkswagen's quality likely has declined some, and the quality of Toyota's products likely has declined a bit or more.

Honda Tops Top 10 List of Frequently Stolen Vehicles in Canada

Basing on the list compiled by the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the most frequently stolen vehicle in Canada comes from the stable of the producer of the high quality Acura CL bumper bracket, Honda.

Honda Civic is one of the most popular stolen vehicles in Canada for three years in a row specifically the 1999 and 2000 Honda Civic SiR 2-door.

The 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX/WRX STi 4-door hold the number one spot in terms of highest theft claims.

Aside from the two Honda models and the Subaru, three Dodge Caravans were also included on the top 10 list. Here are the Top 10 Stolen Vehicles in Canada:

1. 1999 Honda Civic SiR 2-door

2. 2000 Honda Civic SiR 2-door

3. 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX/WRX STi 4-door AWD

4. 1999 Acura Integra 2-door

5. 1994 Dodge/Plymouth Grand Caravan/Voyager

6. 1994 Dodge/Plymouth Grand Caravan/Voyager AWD

7. 1994 Dodge/Plymouth Caravan/Voyager

8. 1998 Acura Integra 2-door

9. 2000 Audi TT Quattro 2-door Coupe

10.1994 Dodge/Plymouth Shadow/Sundance 2-door Hatchback

Richard Dubin explained that the vehicles included in the list lacks an electronic immobilizer which is a special type of security device that shuts off once or more parts of the engine’s electrical system including the starter, ignition or fuel system. The device automatically disarms whenever an unauthorized security code is received in case there is an attempt to start the engine.

Mr. Dubin also added that the vehicles included in the top 10 stolen vehicles are also viewed as easy to sell for parts and to strip. "You've got cars like the (Acura) Integra, the (Audi) Quattro, the (Subaru) Impreza and the (Honda) Civic -- these are cars that are sporty and desirable, so if they're easy to steal they're going to take them," he said.

And of course if there is the list of the most frequently stolen vehicles in Canada there is also the list of the least stolen vehicles and this include the following vehicles:

1. 2003 Buick Le Sabre 4-door

2. 2003 Cadillac Deville 4-door

3. 2002 Ford/Mercury Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis 4-door

4. 2000 Saturn SW1 Wagon

5. 2000 Lincoln Continental 4-door

6. 2000 Volvo S70 4-door

7. 1998 Hyundai Accent 4-door

8. 1997 Buick Regal 4-door

9. 1996 Buick Park Avenue 4-door

10. 2001 Toyota Highlander 4-door 2WD

According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada’s website: "Car thieves have absolutely no regard for public safety and the rules of the road. Every year approximately 40 people die and 65 are injured as a direct result of auto theft. When it's in the hands of a thief, a stolen car is like a loaded gun."

The Insurance Bureau of Canada also said that the estimated additional auto theft costs on insurance premium for each policyholder is $48 which will reach $1.2 billion per year once health care, court, policing, and other expenses are taken into consideration.

dodge/Plymouth neon.?

I have a 98' Plymouth neon 4dr. Will all body parts interchange with dodge neons if so what years. Im looking for body kits/spoilers and also the camshaft ____ sensor. I dont have the full name of the part.
thank you its a camshaft Position sensor also is that what is making it die with the ac on it also is making a chuging when you excelarate
by the way it just a 2nd car used for gas

First off, my sympathies for owning a Neon.

You can find out from a auto parts store or even a junkyard (I think they like to be called auto recyclers now).

You may want to look at what your costs are going to be and consider using that money towards a more reliable car. check Consumer Reports; no one seems to like that model.
