HEAD GASKET OIL LEAK-THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL-WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN DONE WHEN IT IS SO WELL KNOWN? IT IS VERY COSTLY AND INCONVENIENT TO HAVE REPAIRED WHEN IT SEEMS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WEAR ON THE VEHICLE. *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
ON THIS SUNDAY AT 12:15 PM MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE AROUND IT. MY WIFE NOTICED IT WHEN THE HORN STARTED BLOWING. I WAS ACROSS THE STREET AT A NEIGHBORS. FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE DASH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL IT SELF AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AREA MELTED AND BLACKENED THE WORSE. THE FIRE DEPT. WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY. *JB

OIL LEAK - 1999 - CAR (1997 BREEZE) STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. DEALER REPAIRED CAR BY REPLACING HEAD GASKET AND CAM SEALS. THREE WEEKS LATER, OIL STILL LEAKING AND RETURNED TO SAME DEALER, WHO AGAIN FIXED CAR. ABOUT A YEAR LATER DURING OIL CHANGE WAS TOLD CAR WAS STILL LEAKING, BUT OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS (EVEN AT DEALERSHIPS) THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS, PLYMOUTH JUST CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *TT

STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID
I HAVE A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE TRUNKLID AREA THE SAME AS COMPLAINT # 877208. AFTER SITTING IN A RAIN OR SNOW STORM, THE LOWER HALF OF THE TRUNK LINING, FROM THE TOP OF THE SPARE TIRE DOWN, GETS SOAKED WITH WATER, WITH NO OBVIOUS INDICATION AS TO WHERE IT'S COMING INTO THE SPARE TIRE AREA. THE COVER OVER THE SPARE TIRE DOESN'T GET WET. AFTER PARTIALLY REMOVING THE TRUNK LINING, FOUND SOME WATER ON TOP OF TRUNK NEAR THE BACK SEAT, BUT CAN'T BE SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM, OR EVEN WHERE IT WOULD COME FROM TO GET ON THERE AND NO WHERE ELSE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE KEY COULD BE TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN ANY POSITION. THE CONSUMER REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, BUT FAILED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND DID NOT ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE DEALER STATED A PIN IN THE SHIFTER POPPED OUT. *JB REF IE03013

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE FROM A MINIMUM SPEED OF 25 MPH AND MORE. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A NOISE IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE. MY BREEZE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AND THEY FOUND THAT A RETAINING SNAP RING HAD BROKEN LOOSE AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION (METAL CONTAMINATION, ETC.). THE COST TO REMOVE AND REINSTALL THE TRANSMISSION, DIAGNOSIS, REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND REPLACING THE CLUTCH DISCS AND FLUID WILL COST ME ABOUT $2100. IS THIS A NORMAL THING TO HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES? IS THERE ANY OTHER NOTED COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS THAT WOULD HELP RECTIFY THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER CONSUMERS? I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND NOW THEY OFFER A 7 YR/70,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT THIS DOESN'T HELP ME AS THAT DID NOT EXIST BACK ON THE 1997 MODEL YEAR. I BELIEVE I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM EARLY, BUT COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT MORE DAMAGE OR EVEN A CRASH, ETC.*JB

I OWN A 1998 PLYMOUTH BREEZE. MY HEAD GASKET IS BAD, AND EVERYONE: THE LOCAL DEALER REPAIR SHOP AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ALL SAY THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN IN THE GASKET METAL TYPE. THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE COME THROUGH THEIR SHOPS, AND NONE ARE CAUSED BY OWNER NEGLECT. IF IT IS A DEIGN ERROR, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY $600 TO GET IT FIXED? SHOULD DESIGN DESIGN PROBLEMS BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL? *NLM
