1998 Plymouth Breeze complaints

ENGINE HEAD GASKET OIL LEAK (1 QT./1000 MILES). *AK

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. ACCIDENTALLY, HIT AGAINST THE SHIFT LEVER, CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLL. *AK

HEAD RETRAINT DESIGN CAUSES HEAD REST TO SET TOO FAR BACK. EVEN WITH HEAD SET BACKWARD STILL UNABLE TO TOUCH HEAD RETRAINT. DEALER NOTIFIED AND INFORMED NOTHING CAN BE DONE ; SEEKING HELP FROM NHTSA THIS MATTER. *AK

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IN PARK WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED. *AK

ENGINE HEAD GASKET BELW OUT PREMATURALLY, CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO THE OIL PAN. DEALER REPLACED ONE HEAD GASKET, AND THE VERY NEXT DAY THE OTHER ONE BLEW OUT. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

TRANSMISSION CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK WITHOUT USING THE KEY. CAN ALSO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED A CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION BUT TOLD ME THAT THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE THIS WAY. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CENTER AT 1-800-992-1997 AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED THIS WAY AND THAT THIS IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE ANYONE CAN GET IN MY CAR AND PULL IT OUT OF PARK WITHUOT USING A KEY AND SOMETIMES WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR I REMOVE THE KEY WHILE IT IS STILL IN DRIVE. SHOULD I NOT HAVE TO PLACE THE GEARSHIFT IN PARK BEFORE I REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY? AND SHOULDN'T I NEED TO USE THE IGNITION KEY TO TAKE THE GEARSHIFT OUT OF PARK?
