1999 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"Great comfort, but at a huge cost!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 1999, at 1,500 miles something went on it causing it to be towed to the dealer for repairs (under warranty) which took 3 days.
In 2001, at 16,404 miles the Up Stream 02 sensor went resulting in catalytic converter failure and subsequent replacement by dealer.
In September of 2002, replaced all 4 tires and brakes at 27,346 miles (after regular tire rotation).
In March 2003, replaced leaking head-gasket and cam sensor as well as plugs and wires at 30,604 miles.
General comments?
I've been happy with the comfort and handling of this car, but as you can see from the numerous repairs, I'm relieved that I bought the extended warranty (which I've never done before). I'm also irritated that I should have had to.
The dealer has always been quick to respond and the service has been excellent, but this car has too many problems.
