1998 PLYMOUTH BREEZE Complaints

STARTED CAR AND WITH BRAKE PRESSED DOWN, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE STEERING FELT TIGHT. THE CAR ACCELERATED WILDLY IN REVERSE, MADE A U-TURN AND HIT 3 PARKED CARS. IN PROCESS I TRIED TO STOP IT WITH THE BRAKE BUT IT DID NOTHING THE BRAKE WAS ALL THE WAY, AS FAR AS IT COULD GO. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. ALL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO FRONT END. ALSO, DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING INJURIES. *AK

VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AND CONSUMER NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR . VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WITHIN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL. E CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS DETERMINE TO BE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WITHIN THE WIRES. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ALSO, THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK DUE TO A CRACKED ENGINE MANIFOLD. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE, AND REPLACED THE MANIFOLD. PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. *AK

GEAR ALSO MOVES INTO THIRD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES I CAN'T COUNT THEM. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE SHIFTER WILL SHOW DRIVE BUT REALLY BE INBETWEEN GEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES. THEY SAY IT IS A PART OF THE SAFETY PROCEDURES THAT ALLOW YOU TO MOVE FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL BUT NOT REVERSE WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON. I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER OF MY CAR THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO. IF IT IS A PART OF THE "SAFETY" MECHANISM, I CONTEND THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE HELP ME MAKE SURE CHRYSLER GETS THE MESSAGE. NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO WANT TO DO SO. THANK YOU. *AK

PASSENGER'S /FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS BENT. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, VEHICLE HIT THE CURB. REPAIRS WERE MADE--THE 2 FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED, AND THE ONE OF THE OLDER TIRES WAS ROTATED TO THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THIS LEFT REAR WHEEL CURRENTLY MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AND THERE IS SQUEAKING WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. DEALER UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS. *AK *ML

CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE RECALL REPAIR (99V-244) FROM A PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER WORK COMPLETED BY COMPETENT DEALERSHIP. (DEALER PROBLEM) *MJS
