ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THERE HAS BEEN A CONTINOUS OIL LEAK INVOLVING MY 1998 PLYMOUTH BREEZE UPON INSPECTION FROM A LOCAL AUTO SHOP THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE SERVICED AND REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET ON SOME 1998 PLYMOUTH BREEZE FOR OIL LEAKS. THEY HAVE HAD TO RESERVICE THE SAME CARS WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD FOR THE SAME HEAD GASKET LEAK. WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 50 MPH THE AC CLUTCH BROKE OFF FROM UNDER THE HOOD, CAUSING THE VEHICLES AC UNIT TO STOP RESPONDING. PRIOR TO THE AC CLUTCH BREAKING THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING NOISE IN WHICH WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE TO INVESTIGATE, WE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING EVIDENT AT THE TIME, BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO GET SERVICED WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE NOISE AND REASON OUR AC WAS NOT WORKING WAS DUE TO THE AC CLUTCH BREAKING OFF. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THESE DEFECTS, BUT WE HAVE HAD SERVICE TECHNICIANS INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
MY 3 1/2 YEAR OLD SON WAS GETTING IN THE CAR AND BUMPED THE GEAR SHIFT WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF, NO FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS ACROSS THE STREET AND HIT THE NEIGHBORS TREE RESULTING IN $3100 IN DAMAGE TO TRUNK AND BUMPER. MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY EVEN THOUGH I REPORTED IT ALL THE WAY TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. CHRYSLER STATED WE SHOULD HAVE DONE ROUTINE CHECKS AND WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX THE DEFECT OR DAMAGES. RECENTLY THERE WAS AN ALERT IN CONSUMER REPORT AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INCIDENCES OF THE SAME NATURE. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THEY SEND OUT A RECALL? LUCKILY MY SON WAS NOT INJURED. I CAN'T SWITCH CAR INSURANCE BECAUSE IT WAS RECORDED AS AN ACCIDENT AND I WOULD HAVE HIGHER RATES WHICH IS IN MY OPINION CHRYSLERS FAULT.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I LEARNED RECENTLY THATENGINE HEAD GASKET HAS A MASSIVE LEAK AND OIL IS LEAKING INTO ALL COMPONENTS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND WILL NOT BUY A CHRYSLER CAR AGAIN! I HAVE RECEIVED NO HELP AS FAR AS GETTING IN TOUCH WITH A SUPERVISOR AT CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE OFFERED NO SOLUTION. THE WORST POINT ON ALL OF THIS IS THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND COULDN'T CARE LESS. WELL, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL READ THIS AND HOPEFULLY WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING A CHRYSLER! *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY SON, RICHARD SCOTT BRADLEY, OWNS A 2000 DODGE STRATUS. A SECOND SON, ROBERT BRIAN BRADLEY, OWNS A 1999 DODGE INTREPID. I OWN A 1999 PLYMOUTH BREEZE. MY TWO SONS AND I HAVE EACH HAD A COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1200 TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION. IT SEEMS MORE THAN COINCIDENCE THAT EACH OF US WOULD EXPERIENCE SIMILAR DEFECTS IN THE VEHICLES' AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. IN THE NOT SO DISTANT FUTURE, EACH ONE OF US WILL BE IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR. IN ALL DUE RESPECT, I AM OPEN TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS.*AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I SUPPOSEDLY HAD A GASKET PUT ON MY VEHICLE BUT I STILL HAVE A WATER LEAK. I SEE THERE WERE RECALLS ON HEADS OR GASKETS. I ALSO HAD BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON MY CAR WHICH I STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH . I HAVE PAID OVER$400 TO GET THAT GASKET PUT ON. WHEN I USE MY AIR CONDITIONER THE POWER OF MY ENGINE WEAKENS AND I HEAR VALVES RATTLING. I DO NOT KNOW THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EVERY GET THESE THINGS FIX WHEN THERE WERE A RECALL FOR THEM OR NOT. I ALSO HAD TO PUT A TRANSMISSION SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER FOR THIS VEHICLE. I THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR. BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE RECALL OF THE VEHICLE. I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTORE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WHERE I TOOK MY CAR TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RECALL ON MY BRAKES BUT I DO NOT THINK THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT. THEN I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED WORK FOR THE STARTLING AND POWER OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AFTER ONE WEEK IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE GASKET. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEN I NEEDED THAT TRANSMISSION SENSOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR NEVER STOPPED DRIPPING WATER. I DO NOT KNOW EXACT DATE. I STILL HEAR THE ROARING SOUND WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES. *JB
