“I purchased my 1996 Plymouth Breeze in april of 1998 with 33,000 miles on it and it currently has 115,000 miles on it. The initial signs of problems begin at 50,000 miles with an oil leak no one could seem to fix (not even the dealership). …”
NHTSA complaint #10058311, filed 2004-02, 54,000 miles“The head gasket was really the problem that I have the biggest beef about. I have had an oil leak since at least august 2002 and the mechanic that I've been taking my car to has replaced the oil pressure switch twice and most recently the cam shaft switch. At the last repair, he indicated that I had a torn head gasket, a very common problem with my model of car. I made an appointment with the local chrysler dealer and then contacted chrysler about some monetary assistance with this repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070201, filed 2004-01, 72,500 miles“While the windshield wipers are in use they would malfunction and be inoperative which may cause visual difficulty and may result in an accident. Been to dealer several times, and fixed the electronic control module, but the problem is reoccurring. Currently, dealer said it is the fuse block panel. Please provide further information.”
NHTSA complaint #835046, filed 1999-02“The ventilation system does not defrost the vehicle when it is cold outside. When there is a car full of people it makes it hard to see out of the vehicle. Dealer has been contacted.”
