  NO SUMMARY.

• 09/29/2005· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERYONE THAT OWNS A PLYMOUTH BREEZE MUST REPLACE A HEAD GASKET. I KNOW THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN IN GENERAL, BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD IS APPARENT. CONSIDERING THE ANTI-FREEZE AND OIL THAT IS DUMPED ON THE GROUND AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR TO MAKE, AND IS VERY COMMON AMONG OWNERS OF THESE CARS. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THE SOURCES TO GO THROUGH TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS. I AM BRINGING IT TO YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT. THE AVERAGE WORKING CLASS FAMILY CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THESE TYPES OF DEFECTS WHILE DAMILER CHRYSLER SEEMS TO GET AWAY WITH THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM. NO ONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAS DIED, GOTTEN INJURED, OR CRASHED DUE TO THIS DEFECT, BUT THINK OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS DUE TO THIS VEHICLE CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF OIL AND ANTIFREEZE DUMPED ON OUR HIGHWAYS EVERY DAY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE CHRYSLER HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. BEING THAT MY HUSBAND MUST COMMUTE TO WORK EVERY DAY, OUR CAR IS DESPERATELY IN NEED TO BE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WILL COST US $700 TO FIX THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET. WE ARE STILL SAVING UP TO FIX THIS PROBLEMATIC CAR. *JB

• 08/14/2002· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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

WHEN THE OUTSIDE AMBEINT TEMP IS 100F. THE INSIDE TEMP OF THE CAR IS 87F. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL DOOR IS NOT DOWN ALL THE WAY AND IT IS OSCILLATING CAUSING THE COOL AIR TO BE HEATED UP BY THE HEATER CORE, CAUSING THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO BE WARM. I HAVE FAXED CHRYSLER ON THIS PROBLEM AND I HAD NO REPLY. TO ME I FEEL THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AND THIS VEHICLE. IF I CANNOT GET CHRYSLER MANAGEMENT TO REPLY, I WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE MYSELF. *AK

CHECKED DIFFERENT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET & FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

ASKED CHRYSLER WHAT SHOULD I DO, WHEN I OWN A CHRYSLER PRODUCT, & CHRYSLER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR CHRYSLER TO DO A STUDY & PAY FOR PARTS THAT DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM.
