ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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.

IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WOULD HAVE THE HEAD GASKET GO OUT. LUCKILY, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIX IT WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A NEW ENGINE. BUT IT STILL COST $1051 TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED. I'VE HEARD THAT OTHER BREEZES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.
