155 reportsHEAD GASKET OIL LEAK-THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL-WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN DONE WHEN IT IS SO WELL KNOWN? IT IS VERY COSTLY AND INCONVENIENT TO HAVE REPAIRED WHEN IT SEEMS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WEAR ON THE VEHICLE. *NLM

ON THIS SUNDAY AT 12:15 PM MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE AROUND IT. MY WIFE NOTICED IT WHEN THE HORN STARTED BLOWING. I WAS ACROSS THE STREET AT A NEIGHBORS. FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE DASH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL IT SELF AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AREA MELTED AND BLACKENED THE WORSE. THE FIRE DEPT. WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY. *JB

THREE WEEKS LATER, OIL STILL LEAKING AND RETURNED TO SAME DEALER, WHO AGAIN FIXED CAR. ABOUT A YEAR LATER DURING OIL CHANGE WAS TOLD CAR WAS STILL LEAKING, BUT OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS (EVEN AT DEALERSHIPS) THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS, PLYMOUTH JUST CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *TT
I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE FROM A MINIMUM SPEED OF 25 MPH AND MORE.

I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 1997 PLYMOUTH BREEZE FROM A MINIMUM SPEED OF 25 MPH AND MORE. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A NOISE IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE. MY BREEZE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AND THEY FOUND THAT A RETAINING SNAP RING HAD BROKEN LOOSE AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION (METAL CONTAMINATION, ETC.). THE COST TO REMOVE AND REINSTALL THE TRANSMISSION, DIAGNOSIS, REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND REPLACING THE CLUTCH DISCS AND FLUID WILL COST ME ABOUT $2100. IS THIS A NORMAL THING TO HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES? IS THERE ANY OTHER NOTED COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS THAT WOULD HELP RECTIFY THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER CONSUMERS? I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND NOW THEY OFFER A 7 YR/70,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT THIS DOESN'T HELP ME AS THAT DID NOT EXIST BACK ON THE 1997 MODEL YEAR. I BELIEVE I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM EARLY, BUT COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT MORE DAMAGE OR EVEN A CRASH, ETC.*JB

REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET. 5 DAYS LATER ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. PRIVATE MECHANIC CHECKED OUT WHAT HAPPENED. HE CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL LINE LEAKAGE OR THE WIRING HARNESS
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!

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

404V021000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission:lever And Linkage:floor Shift
Jan 13, 2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FLOOR SHIFTER IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK MAY FAIL AND ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION WITH THE KEY REMOVED. AN INOPERATIVE INTERLOCK MAY ALSO ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED WHEN THE SHIFTER HAS NOT BEEN PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EITHER CIRCUMSTANCE MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WITHOUT WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW LOAD-LIMITING PUSH ROD INTO THE FLOOR SHIFTER LEVER OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 14, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
98V183000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission:park/neutral Start Interlock Switch
Aug 6, 1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE CABLE CONNECTING THE CONSOLE SHIFTER MECHANISM TO THE IGNITION KEY CAN CAUSE A TRAPPED KEY CONDITION WHICH CAN RESULT IN A LOW FORCE REQUIRED TO DEPRESS THE SHIFT BUTTON. A COMBINATION OF APPLYING A MIS-ADJUSTED RELEASE BUTTON WITH A LOW FORCE ATTEMPT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITH THE KEY IN THE LOCKED POSITION, CAN BREAK THE CONNECTING PIN IN THE SHIFTER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS HAPPENS, THE "IGNITION-PARK" INTERLOCK SYSTEM WILL BE NONFUNCTIONAL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PROPER OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM. ANY VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL AFTER THE INSPECTION WILL HAVE THE SHIFT MECHANISM AND CABLE REPLACED WITH A "SELF-ADJUSTING" DESIGN.
97V201000 · Suspension:front:control Arm:lower Ball Joint
Nov 13, 1997
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT CAN SEPARATE DUE TO LOSS OF LUBRICATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SEPARATION OF THE BALL JOINT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BALL JOINT END HOUSING COVER SEAL FOR LEAKAGE WITH A HIGH PRESSURE AIR TESTER AND THE RUBBER BOOT WILL BE VISUALLY INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE. IF THE COVER SEAL LEAKS OR THE BOOT IS DAMAGED, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WILL BE REPLACED.
97V095000 · Structure:body:hood:hinge And Attachments
Jun 6, 1997
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH SPRING CAN DISENGAGE FROM ITS RETENTION HOLE IF THE HOOD IS SLAMMED SHUT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHOUT ENGAGING THE PRIMARY LATCH, THE HOOD WOULD NOT BE RESTRAINED INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH SPRING WITH A LONGER END HOOK SPRING.
