#701435December 17, 1998
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON NOVEMBER 15TH, 1998, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR PLYMOUTH BREEZE ON HIS WAY TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING HE HEARD SEVERAL TERRIBLE, LOUD NOISES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AAMCO TRANSMITTIONS. AAMCO TRANSMITTIONS FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE, THE DIFFERENTAL PIN WORKED ITS WAY OUT OF PLACE, CATCHING ITSELF ON METAL. THE DIFFERENTIAL PIN SPLIT INTO THREE PIECES (AAMCO BELIEVES). THE DIFFERENTIAL PIN MADE SEVERAL 3 INCH HOLES IN THE CASING OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CONTAMINATED AND DESTROYED. THE SOLUTION, TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. THE PLYMOUTH BREEZE IN THIS REPORT HAS NOT EVER BEEN SERVICED FOR PROBLEMS OTHER THAN RECALLS. WE BELIEVE THE DAMAGE STARTED TO BEGIN WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN ITS WARRANTY LIFE. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO CHRYSLER ENGINEERS, TWO TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS, AND THREE CHRYLSER DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES. THEIR OPINION IS THE SAME. THEY ALL BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES TIME FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE TO OCCUR. AND NOT ONE OF THE SPECIALISTS HAVE EVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH A CAR LESS THAN 100,000 MILES DRIVEN! WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYLSER FOR A REFUND OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF OUR PLYMOUTH BREEZE'S NEW TRANSMITTION.
