1991 Plymouth Sundance America review from North America
"Drove nice, but no power, and HOW DOES AN OIL PUMO DO THAT???"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced (under extended warranty)
alternator
caught on fire (my fault, no damage just a lot of smoke)
oil pump, see below this was bazaar!!
Eventually the motor
A/C system replaced (under extended warranty)
General comments?
OK, so I got 50K miles out of the car, but could have gotten more. The pain was peeling off, if I would be so luck as to get up to 75-80 MPH you could actually see it peeling!! The car drove nice. Had a sunroof and of course being only 19 I had the "system" in it. Transmission went out, took it to Aamco, got it replaced, oh yeah, they forgot to reseal a few things, took it to Wheeling WV the next morning and leaked trans fluid EVERYWHERE, burned it up and they had to replace it AGAIN when I got home. Morons! A/C went out, had condenser and compressor replaced @ a Chrysler dealer and after that warranty expired it went out again, go figure hu? OK, here is where it got weird, got off work one day and the oil filter FLEW OFF THE CAR!! Shot oil everywhere!!! Put it back on and no problems until 6 months later oil filter came off again!!! This time it kept blowing off. Turns out a freak thing happened in the oil pump and the pump started putting out too much pressure and blew the rear main seal too!!! CRAZY!!! Well, I decided the warranty was up and I am not putting 1000.00 into a car that already had 90K miles on the motor, so I had a used motor put in the car. (21,000 miles) Ran excellent!! Got rid of it about 6 months later. There is someone still driving it last I saw it was 2 years ago. Almost grey now from the paint STILL peeling off of it.
