The 1995 Dodge Neon has 6 recalls, with the most serious concerns centered on brake failure and loss of steering: corroding brake and fuel lines can leak fluid or fuel, creating a risk of fire or total brake loss, and a steering column coupler can disconnect after an underbody impact, leaving the driver with no steering control.
Brake system issues appear across several recalls. The ABS master cylinder rear seal can allow air into the brake lines, making the pedal feel spongy and extending stopping distances. Separately, rear brake hose mounting brackets can lose their screws, letting the hoses shift out of position and eventually leak fluid, which also reduces braking performance.
The powertrain control module, which acts as the vehicle's main computer, can allow moisture inside due to inadequate sealing. When that happens, the engine can stall while driving. This issue appears in two overlapping recalls covering the same underlying defect, one of which also notes that the rear brake lines may sit out of position if the mounting bracket screws fail, connecting it to the brake hose concern described above.

What can fail
The screws holding the rear brake hose bracket can fail, letting the brake hoses shift out of position. Unrestrained hoses can then get damaged, causing brake fluid to leak.
What the fix does
The rear brake line hose bracket screws will be replaced.

What can fail
The engine may shut off unexpectedly due to moisture getting inside the engine control module because its protective seal is inadequate. Additionally, rear brake lines may shift out of position if their mounting bracket screws fail.
What the fix does
The engine control module and rear brake line bracket screws will be replaced.

At a glance
What can fail
The rear seal in the ABS brake master cylinder can leak, allowing air into the brake system. This causes brakes to feel spongy or may result in partial or complete brake failure.
What the fix does
The master cylinder will be inspected for the affected build date range and replaced if needed.
