1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE Complaints

WHEELS SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO FALL OFF WHENEVER CONSUMER HIT A BUMP. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS COMING ON, AND CONSUMER WAS CONSTANTLY PUTTING OIL IN VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID VEHICLE WAS BURNING OIL AND MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. LEFT AND RIGHT TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

IN MARCH 2000, NOTED A SMALL LEAK OF COOLANT FROM RADIATOR. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OVERHEATING PROBLEMS OCCURED WHICH WOULD INDICATE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER WHO INFORMED US OF HEAD GASKET FAILURE CAUSING COOLANT TO ENTER TRANSMISSION AND OIL TO ENTER COOLING SYSTEM. HEAD GASKET REPLACED ALONG WITH DEALER SUGGESTED FLUSHING OF TRANSMISSION AND RADITOR AND REPLACEMENT OF NECESSARY BELTS AND HOSES. IN JULY 2000 ANOTHER LEAK OF COOLANT. DEALER ADVISED US OF COMPLETE RADIATOR FAILURE. BOTH DEALERS STATE THIS FAILURE IS NOT LINKED TO ORIGINAL HEAD GASKET PROBLEM. RADIATOR AND ALL HOSES REPLACED.

ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASSIONS, 6/11/98 & 3/3/98I WENT TO LAWRENCE CHRYSLER PLY. IN RICHMOND TO INSPECT FOR PROBLEMS THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING. FIRESTONE SERVICE 7/26/99 VALVE COVER GASKET INSTALLED AT $99.31,7/3 00 VALVE COVER GASKET SET AND SPARK PLUG SEAL AND MORE FOR $264.38 9/21/00 CAM SENSOR SEALAND SERVICES FOR $106.20 AND THE PROBLEM ONLY GETS WORST . I AM CURRENTLY HAVING TO PUT OIL IN EVERY TIME I WANT TO DRIVE SOME WHERE.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 1998 . WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT HAD 28,000 MI. ON IT. JUST WHEN THE NEXT 36,000 MI ROLLED OVER YHE HEAD GASKET BLEW. NOW ANOTHER 30,000 MI IT BLEW AGAIN. I CALLED THE ORIGINAL DEALER THEY SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.0 LITRE ENGINES HEAD GASKET BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. HOME OFFICE REFUSES TO MAKE A CALL. *AK

MUFFLER - LOUD RATTLE, BRAKES - LOUD SCRATCHING SOUNDS/ REPLACED PADS STILL SCRATCHING

THE HEAD GASKETS HAVE BLOWN OUT, CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING ON MY 97' PLYMOUTH BREEZE. I KNOW 6 PEOPLE PERSONALLY THAT HAVE THE SAME ENGINE AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BREEZES, NEONS, STRATUSES AND ALL THE 4 CYLINDERS HEADGASKET LEAK. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN MY OPINION. THANKS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH. CONSUMER FELT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ALSO, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON.

WE HAV EHAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD STARTERS, TRANSMISSION MODULES, FUEL PUMPS, HEAD GASKETS, AND A LEAK DETECTION PUMP REPLACED SO FAR. ALL CHRYSLER CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS THAT YOUR OUT OF LUCK. THE DEALERSHIP THREATENED TO USE FORCE TO BEAT ME UP (PAT TERHAR TEH GM AT THE DEALERSHIP) ALL I WANT IS CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD, INSTEAD THEY KEEP CHANGING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS I HAVE HAD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I AM RUNNING OUT OF STEAM. THANKS!)( DOT NUMBER: )

WHILE AT A STOP SIGN VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE FRONT. TAGS WERE RIPPED OFF, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK
