Head gasket failure at low mileage, manufacturer notified and was unwilling to assist. *ak consumer stated that the defective head gasket was leaking oil, the camshaft sensor, and o-ring, were also leaking.
Head gasket defect. Seems to be a common problem to all models talking to the dealerships and independent repair shops.
My head gasket is cracked and leaking oil. According to the plymouth message board on the internet and many others, this is a very common problem. This needs to be addressed and remedied. Too many people are experiencing the same problem for this to be "accidental". There needs to be a recall. Thank you.
Blew one head gasket, leaking oil due to blown gasket. Oil has leaked into spark plugs.
The head gasket failed causing oil leakage for a period of time, vehicle was in for dealership service for an oil change prior and the dealership did not notice the leakage.
Began finding oil on the drive way. Took car to a firestone service center on 3-24-01 for a scheduled oil change and also asked to check on any possible oil leaks. Service center has determined that oil is leaking from the head gasket. The service center believes there may be a recall on this problem. I can not locate any recall notices but I find it very unsual to have oil leaking from the engine on a car with less that 22,000 miles.
Transmission module was replaced, headgasket was leaking oil, and was replaced as well. *ak head gasket was leaking due to cylinder head failure.
Mechanics have told me of numerous head gasket oil leaks. I know of 3 other people all with 1998 plymouth breeze, all have the same head gasket oil leak. Chrysler & dealer willing to fix it at a reduced rate.
Head gasket blewout, causing oil leakage. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified. *ak the consumer did research on internet and discovered quite a large number of complaints regarding head gasket leaking of this make of vehicle.
Excessive loss of engine oil. Vehicle taken to a independent repair shop and informed of an engine head gasket failure. Dealer/manufacturer were not notified at this time.
Head gasket is leaking approx. 1 qt. Of oil every 1500 miles. Service department at the local chrysler dealer said failure was due to incompatable metals. An independent mechanic told me the problem was a design flaw, the design flaw was in the way the gasket was manufactured using multiple layers. After time the layers will seperate and allow leakage. The total cost of repair is $451.00, cost of parts is $136.00 for two gaskets (head and valve cover) and oil change, the remainder being labor. I feel this failure is from a design flaw and not from normally wear and the manufacture should be responcible for the repair, since it was an engineering failure.
No safety defect listed for above vehicle.
Noticed oil leak,contacted dealer service mgr..I was told there were no tsb's on vehicle.later found out there were several tsb's on oil leaks for vehicle.
Failure results in oil leak. Also occurred on my wife's 97 breeze.
Engine coolant leakages; vehicle taken to independent repair shop and informed consumer that it was caused by a faulty oil sending unit. The leaking oil caused the engine to overheat, which caused the head gasket to warp and the block to crack.
When driving vehicle there was a loud noise coming from the engine. Also, there was an oil leak due to a cracked engine manifold. Dealer has seen vehicle, and replaced the manifold. Problem has reoccurred.
Engine head gasket oil leak (1 qt./1000 miles).
Engine head gasket belw out prematurally, causing oil to leak into the oil pan. Dealer replaced one head gasket, and the very next day the other one blew out. Manufacturer has been contacted.
While driving while it's raining, vehicle loses power and slows down. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.
Heard a sound and all of a sudden the car started out of control in an "s" shape motion..witness behind me states that some fell our from under my car prior to my going out of control and striking the curb. I am getting no cooperation out of the dealer and they are stalling on fixing my car. They have had it for 2 weeks now. Possibly the tire rod or something caused it to veer out of control.
