1999 Plymouth Breeze complaints

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

I HAVE A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE TRUNKLID AREA THE SAME AS COMPLAINT # 877208. AFTER SITTING IN A RAIN OR SNOW STORM, THE LOWER HALF OF THE TRUNK LINING, FROM THE TOP OF THE SPARE TIRE DOWN, GETS SOAKED WITH WATER, WITH NO OBVIOUS INDICATION AS TO WHERE IT'S COMING INTO THE SPARE TIRE AREA. THE COVER OVER THE SPARE TIRE DOESN'T GET WET. AFTER PARTIALLY REMOVING THE TRUNK LINING, FOUND SOME WATER ON TOP OF TRUNK NEAR THE BACK SEAT, BUT CAN'T BE SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM, OR EVEN WHERE IT WOULD COME FROM TO GET ON THERE AND NO WHERE ELSE.

THE KEY COULD BE TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN ANY POSITION. THE CONSUMER REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, BUT FAILED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND DID NOT ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS.

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.

CONSUMER ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE GEAR SHIFT WHICH MOVED EASILY FROM PARK AND THE VEHICLE DRIFTED BACKWARDS. *JG PH

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

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.

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
