Which Plymouth Breeze years should you avoid?
Going by 667 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Plymouth Breeze years to avoid are 1999.
- 19992.3× the usual share of fires, crashes and deaths for a car of its age (25 fires, 16 crashes).
How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
