1989 Plymouth Sundance RS review from North America
"Poor investment.. i have already spent 3 times as much in repairs and the purchase price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When purchased the car had no A/C. 3 compressors later, it still does not work, due to belt won't stay on. in & out of shop.
Sunroof has always leaked, but recently sealed with silicone.
When purchased engine had been rebuilt.. it has been rebuilt twice since then.
Transmission was rebuilt when purchased. currently being rebuilt for second time.
Poor gas mileage.
General comments?
Some may have had better luck, however I will never buy another Plymouth till proven better. for another note, my sister owned an 1988 model, with the 2.0 non-turbo..and problems with engine & trans. did not exist.
