While traveling on the highway and without prior warning the head gasket start leaking gasoline from underneath the vehicle. Please fill in additional information dealer is aware of the problem.
I'm so disappointed in this car. I bought it new in 1996, and it's been constant problems since I did. The first time the head gasket went out, the car was still under warranty, but has gone out twice since then. I've spent so much money on repairs, that I could have bought a whole new car if you add it all up. The brakes are always squeeking and wearing out quickly. Whenever one thing goes wrong, it's quickly followed by several other problems. My transmission had a massive leak last year (2001) that took the dealer two times to fix. But now it's leaking again. I went and bought a new kia two days ago--but I'm reluctant to try and sell this lemon to anybody. It has no trade in value whatsoever. Now that I'm aware of the major head gasket problems, I wonder if there's any sort of class action lawsuit against the makers of plymouth? I want my money back!!!
Dealer claims head gasket is blown. Some oil leakage has been noted by owner. Other the federal safety agency complaints indicate it could damage radiator so I need to find crysler's desire/need to replace this defective part.

I have been having problems with oil dripping from my 1996 plymouth breeze. I took it to my mechanic, who told me that the problem was a bad head gasket. I was told by him that plymouth was have a problem with that vehicle and that should be a recall item. I contacted chrysler about my problem and they advised that it wasn't a recalled problem, and it never will be. For them to fix it ,it will cost upwards of 2,000 dollars. I have tried to reason with them, but couldn't get anywhere with them. The problem is very messy for my driveway,and probably a safety concern the more I drive it on the road. I hope the federal safety agency puts our concerns to the forfront and gets chrysler to address our situation and finally put the problem on the recall list. As a fan of the chrsyler product and buyer, I hope that something can be done. Frank cortez

Timing belt broke while driving 65mph, causing piston to bend valve. Front brakes have always squeaked when releasing, and has always rattled behind front wheels when going over bumps. What a lemon!! Problems since purchased! Alot of people have problems with these! There should be recall on these due to head gasket problems! I expected to have problems, but not this soon! Problems started soon after purchase, and dealer kept telling me nothing was wrong with it! That's why I bought a newer model car! My klunker ran better than this and with less problems!
