ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY 1998 PLYMOUTH BREEZE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A LEAKING HEAD GASKET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER SIMILAR CAR ENGINES, BUT I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE BEGUN. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I ATTEMPTED TO FOLLOW THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I HAD BEEN MISINFORMED BY THEIR EMPLOYEES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. IF MORE DETAILS ARE NEEDED, PLEASE CONTACT ME. DT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
OIL LEAKING FROM HEAD GASKET, WAS DISCOVERED DURING INSPECTION OF SHIFTER CABLE WHICH WASNT INSTALLED PROPERLY AFTER REPLACEMENT DUE TO A RECALL. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD RAN OUT THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS NOTICED, ALTHOUGH IT HAD APPARENTLY BEEN LEAKING FOR AWHILE. CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN IT ON, THE LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE SPEED CANNOT BE SET AND AFTER A FEW TRIES THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT AND YOU CANNOT GET IT TO COME BACK ON. A/C VENTS, THERE IS A STRANGE SMELL THAT SMELLS LIKE MILDEW OR MOLD THAT COMES FROM THE VENTS WHEN YOU TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEAT, THIS HAS BEEN ADRESSED WITH A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT RETURNED A FEW DAYS LATER.

BEEN DRIVING FOR 53 YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST HEAD GASKET I EVER HAD THAT FAILED. ALL SERVICE PEOPLE I TALK TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PREVALENT BREESE/NEON PROBLEM.NHTSA SEARCHES SHOW 1996 1988 DODGE NEON FAILURES, 39 PLYMOUTH NEON FAILURES & 20 PLYMOUTH BREEZE FAILURES. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE MFG. HASN'T TAKEN ANY ACTION. HAVE THEY? COST = $800!!!!!.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE OEM FUEL PUMP FITS INTO THE GAS TANK. THE POSITIVE WIRE LEADING INTO THE TANK SHORTED OUT MELTING THE WIRE INSULATION ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS TANK MELTING THE PLASTIC INTO CAUSING GAS TO LEAK OUT THROUGH THE HOLE IT CREATED. THIS GAS FLOWED OVER THE BARE WIRE. THE SAME WIRE CONTINUES INTO THE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK AND IT CONTINUED TO SHORT IN THERE CAUSING THE PLASTIC INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK TO TURN BROWN FROM THE HEAT. MY CONCERN IS A SPARK WOULD HAVE BEEN CREATED PERTICULARLY IF THE TANK WAS PARTIALLY FULL THE FUMES WOULD HAVE IGNITED CAUSING A SERIOUS EXPLOSION. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE REPLACEMENT PART SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE SAME HOLDS TRUE WITH THE DATA ON YOUR SITE. THE CONCERN SHOULD BE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THIS MODEL TYPE OUT THERE THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS CONDITION.*AK
