1996 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"Absolute Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head-gasket
Transmission
Timing belt
Rear brakes just keep falling apart
General comments?
Well it's just a overall crappy car. See Chrysler must think it's normal maintenance to replace a head gasket, or a timing belt every 3,000 miles.
OK, so it's not that bad, but this car never went 6th months without going to the shop. I owned a Buick Century before and it gave me 15 years of service, and easily got to 150,000 miles without major problems. But this Breeze is lucky to get 110,000 miles with repair bills as high as I paid for the car itself.
Now it runs rough and shuts off at intersections like a Hybrid. I am dumping this in favor of a Prius (picking it up real soon from the dealer)...
Do yourself a favor. Stay away from Chrysler cars. Daimler really hosed them up real good. If you can't find another car, take the bus if you can!!! I am serious; this car will haunt you until you sell it. Listen to us! Or you will be sorry!
