Vehicle was losing oil, overflow container for antifreeze and water had turned brown. Once car overheated, and let out a mixture of water and oil.
2 head gaskets changed rusting inside of car seat brackets.
Lower control arm is making a popping sound. Also, headgasket blew.
The car was bought new and because of health it was sold to son. It only had 27,000 miles on it when leak was noted. Took to danville chrysler plymouth in danville ind. They said the car had just run out of warranty . Said it was a common problem with this type car. I t cost 633.00 to repair. Still leaked and told it was a spring that had lost tension near intake gasket. Am watching to see if it still leaks. Bad weather has hindered that. Not many miles for a head gasket to be blowing.
A cracked engine head caused oil to get into water of radiator .
Have had repairs done on electronic module and now the head gasket is leaking oil very badly.
Engine is leaking oil.
Premature wear of head gaskets, causing leakage. Dealer has replaced head gaskets, but problem still exists.&
Ongoing problem with tie rod and ball joint failures. Dealer had replaced both tie rod and ball joint three times each, and problem appeared to be reoccurring. Dealership denied recall 97v201 stating that all parts were okay, the initial problem was an ongoing front end noise and vibration. Seeking help from the federal safety agency in this matter. Vehicle also experiencing an oil leaking problem, the head gasket has been replaced 4 times. A chipped drive chain caused motor vibration. *ak
Vehicle was leaking oil. Took to dealer, and they said head gasket needed to be replaced.
Wheels sounded like they were going to fall off whenever consumer hit a bump. Engine check light was coming on, and consumer was constantly putting oil in vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said vehicle was burning oil and making a knocking noise. Left and right tie rods needed to be replaced.
In march 2000, noted a small leak of coolant from radiator. No warning lights or overheating problems occured which would indicate serious problems. Vehicle taken to dealer who informed us of head gasket failure causing coolant to enter transmission and oil to enter cooling system. Head gasket replaced along with dealer suggested flushing of transmission and raditor and replacement of necessary belts and hoses. In july 2000 another leak of coolant. Dealer advised us of complete radiator failure. Both dealers state this failure is not linked to original head gasket problem. Radiator and all hoses replaced.
On two seperate occassions, 6/11/98 & 3/3/98i went to lawrence chrysler ply. In richmond to inspect for problems they claimed that they found nothing. Firestone service 7/26/99 valve cover gasket installed at $99.31,7/3 00 valve cover gasket set and spark plug seal and more for $264.38 9/21/00 cam sensor sealand services for $106.20 and the problem only gets worst . I am currently having to put oil in every time I want to drive some where.
I have owned this car since 1998 . When I purchased the car it had 28,000 mi. On it. Just when the next 36,000 mi rolled over yhe head gasket blew. Now another 30,000 mi it blew again. I called the original dealer they said there is a problem with the 2.0 litre engines head gasket but there is no recall at this time. Home office refuses to make a call.
Muffler - loud rattle, brakes - loud scratching sounds/ replaced pads still scratching
Head gasket broke on plymouth breeze

The head gaskets have blown out, causing coolant to leak onto the engine. The dealer has been notified.
Head gasket was leaking on my 97' plymouth breeze. I know 6 people personally that have the same engine and had the same problem. They have breezes, neons, stratuses and all the 4 cylinders headgasket leak. Chrysler needs to do something about this problem in my opinion. Thanks.
We hav ehad numerous problems with our vehicle. We have had starters, transmission modules, fuel pumps, head gaskets, and a leak detection pump replaced so far. All chrysler can say about this is that your out of luck. The dealership threatened to use force to beat me up (pat terhar teh gm at the dealership) all I want is chrysler to take responsibility for the number of problems I have had, instead they keep changing me hundreds of dollars for repairs. My understanding is that there are numerous cars with similar problems as I have had. Please investigate. I am running out of steam. Thanks!)( dot number: )
On going problem with stalling. Vehicle would stall while driving or would not start or restart intermittently. Dealer notified, and some repairs were made on several occasions, but problem still reoccurring.

On 1/5/00 I arrived home and after getting out of car heard hissing noise and popped the hood and then relized that the car was leaking oil all over the driveway. Took car to a texaco station and they stated that I had a cracked gasket and would fix for an estimated cost of $534.80 (frontier chevy dealer estimated 600.00, was not boing to bother with the people I bought the car from since they are 1 hour away and am very dissatisfied with there servie). According to lemon-aid updates on website http://lemonaidcars.com/home.htm under the novemer 1999 section section 2 states that service bulliton number 09-05-98, they have know about this problem for past 16 months. Additionally per odi id 704054 someone else has had the exact same problem. How can I go about trying to have them pay for the new gaskets and manhours that I had to pay for becuase of there poor product. Could I sue them in small claims court?
