Any NEON owners out there?

My wife had a 02 sxt 5-speed that she drove for about 6 years.
It averaged 34 mpg.
That car ate tie rod ends for some reason, like every year had to replace them.
The clutch went out one time because the slave cylinder would not release all the way, the slave cylinder is only available from chrysler, and it comes as a sealed unit no bleediing.
And the final issue before I got rid of it was the steering column broke, it has a piece of plastic that connects the key to the ignition switch which is part of the column.
The whole column had to be changed.
Never had any motor problems.
