1996 PLYMOUTH BREEZE Complaints

I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 1996, AND IT'S BEEN CONSTANT PROBLEMS SINCE I DID. THE FIRST TIME THE HEAD GASKET WENT OUT, THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS GONE OUT TWICE SINCE THEN. I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON REPAIRS, THAT I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A WHOLE NEW CAR IF YOU ADD IT ALL UP. THE BRAKES ARE ALWAYS SQUEEKING AND WEARING OUT QUICKLY. WHENEVER ONE THING GOES WRONG, IT'S QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS. MY TRANSMISSION HAD A MASSIVE LEAK LAST YEAR (2001) THAT TOOK THE DEALER TWO TIMES TO FIX. BUT NOW IT'S LEAKING AGAIN. I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW KIA TWO DAYS AGO--BUT I'M RELUCTANT TO TRY AND SELL THIS LEMON TO ANYBODY. IT HAS NO TRADE IN VALUE WHATSOEVER. NOW THAT I'M AWARE OF THE MAJOR HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS, I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY SORT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MAKERS OF PLYMOUTH? I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!*AK

DEALER CLAIMS HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN. SOME OIL LEAKAGE HAS BEEN NOTED BY OWNER. OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS INDICATE IT COULD DAMAGE RADIATOR SO I NEED TO FIND CRYSLER'S DESIRE/NEED TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *AK

HEAD GASKETS BLEWOUT, AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING OIL. CONTACTED A DEALER, AND DEALER GOT APPROVAL FROM CHRYSLER TO FIX VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE.*AK

TREAD SEPARATION @ 75 MPH DID $2,100 IN DAMAGES TO THE CAR. THE INCIDENT NARROWLY AVOIDED ROLLOVER AS CAR BECAME COMPLETELY UNSTABLE AFTER THE EXPLOSIVE TIRE FAILURE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: B6H128G09L TIRESIZE: 195/70R14)

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE.CURRENTLY I'M LOOKING AT REPLACING THE WHOLE RACK IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE!!MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND IS MY FAMILY SEDAN.I AM A 33 YEAR OLD MOTHER AND HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO ABUSE OR NEGLECT THIS VEHICLE.IT LEAKS OIL,THE DOOR SEALS DON'T LINE UP PROPERLY ON THE BACK DOORS AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T LAST THE TERM OF MY LOAN I TOOK OUT TO BUY THIS VEHICLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH CHRYSLER MANUFACTURING SUCH A LEMON AND TURNING AROUND AND SELLING IT TO HAPLESS VICTIMS.PREYING ON FAMILIES THAT CAN BARELY AFFORD THERE VEHICLES.WHEN THAT SALESMAN LOOKED INTO MY 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTERS EYES AT THE TIME DID IT EVEN MATTER TO HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE PUTTING HER LIFE IN DANGER BY SELLING HER PARENTS A POORLY DESIGNED AND BUILT CAR?OBVIOUSLY NOT.UNFORTUNATELY FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE THEM TO COURT FOR SELLING ME THIS LEMON AND NEEDING TO WORK EVERY DAY TO GET BY I NEEDED THIS VEHICLE.I HAVE TO DRIVE IT EVERY DAY.IT'S A SHAME THAT CHRYSLER HAS RUINED ANOTHER AMERICAN FAMILIES OPINION ON AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BUY AMERICAN FOR VEHICLES AGAIN.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK
