I have a 95 Neon Sport with the DOHC engine. Whenever I am going under 30 mph my car makes this chirp noise and sounds like it's coming from the fron/underneath of the car. The brakes were replaced about a year ago however the noise does stop whenever I push down (even slightly) on the brake pedal. It may do it at higher speeds too but between the engine and the radio I may not be noticing it. It started as a now and then thing and has moved now to a 90% of the time thing. Any ideas??? THANKS!

I have owned four Neons, including a new '95 Sport, which I have repaired and maintained myself. I have not actually experienced the problem you describe. However you report that pushing on the brake pedal, even slightly, makes the noise stop. Therefore I would say this probably isolates the problem to the brakes and this is where you should look. Since you have a Sport, both front and rear brakes are discs. When I changed pads, I was sure to use the shims that came with the pads even though this made installation tighter. Supposedly, the pads will loosen and become noisy if you do not use the shims. This may not be your exact problem but it is the brakes.

Sounds like your front brake pads need to be replaced.

It's a belt, the one that connects to your AC..Spray with lubricant and then have it replaced..

its your timing belt, the belt itself is cheap , but the installation price is EXPENSIVE! the same thing happened in my dodge 600 twin turbo
