ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS RUNNING QUITE DIFFERENTLY. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A LEAKING HEAD GASKET. I ONLY HAVE 28,000 MILES ON MY CAR. IT IS A '99. THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME TO HAVE THESE ISSUES WITH A CAR THAT HAS BARELY BEEN DRIVEN. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM OF THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AND THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART. I'VE SPOKEN WITH OTHERS WITH THE SAME DEFECT.

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE, I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE HEAD GASKET. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF RECALL DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD FROM THE REPAIR SHOP THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE KIND OF VEHICLES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET ON 1999 PLYMOUTH BREEZE WITH 39,387 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 4/11/02. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, I WAS INFORMED THE HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, THE DEALER TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WAS GOOD FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES AND THEIR ONLY OFFER WAS TO REPLACE IT FOR $630. I DECLINED, PREFERRING TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE I TRUST. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF AT LEAST TWO OTHER PLYMOUTH/DODGE OWNERS THAT HAD THEIR HEAD GASKETS REPLACED AT LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. DAIMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A MANNER OTHER THAN CHARGING THE OWNER TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART. *JB

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
I HAVE A '97 PLYMOUTH BREEZE. SUDDENLY, INEXPLICABLY, THE HEATER WOULD NOT WORK ON THE LOWER FAN SETTINGS--IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THE COLDEST WEEKS THIS WINTER! HAD IT CHECKED OUT, IT IS THE BLOWER MOTOR. IT IS DRAWING TOO MUCH POWER AND OVERLOADING THE RESISTOR, WHICH IT NOW ALSO NEEDS. I HAVE BEEN SCOURING THE WEB FOR REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO PLYMOUTH BREEZES OR DODGE STRATUSES (STRASTI?) OR EVEN THE CIRRUS. I HAVE FOUND ABOUT 3 OR SO. NOT ENOUGH TO BE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR OWNERS, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO RECALL ON THE PARTS. MY QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS? I DID SEE SOME STUFF ABOUT A MILDEW SMELL IN THE CAR AND PROBLEMS WITH THE DEFOGGER NOT DEFOGGING ALL THE WAY. I BELIEVE THERE IS A CONNECTION WITH THIS AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ISSUE. MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE DEFOGGER BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A REPAIR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE, THANKS JEFF GARRETT

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED , AS IT KEPT UNHOOKING ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE. THAT SIDE GETS SNOW PACKED DOWN IN THERE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT ,OUT IS IF YOU RAISE THE HOOD. THAT'S HARD TO DO IN A SNOW STORM. HAD TO REPLACE THIS WIPER TRANSMISSION COSTING $256.60. PLUS NOW I HAVE TO RETURN TO GARAGE TO GET BLADES REALIGNED TO WORK CORRECTLY. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GUARD OR SOMETHING TO STOP THIS SNOW BUILD UP. THE WIPERS STOPPED BOTH TIMES IN A MAJOR SNOW STORM, WHICH WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I FEEL THIS CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED THIS PART REPLACED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITHOUT THIS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEAD GASKET OF MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE IS LEAKING OIL FROM THE HEAD GASKET. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED EARLIER. WHEN I FIRST TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT HE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST @$200. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAS CONTINUED AND I WONDERED IF THERE WAS A RECALL DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.
