1996 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"What a lemon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission leak was present at time of purchase. Took it in to the dealer and they were unable to find the leak. Told me there must be a hairline crack. I visited the dealer on 5 separate occasions, each proving to be a waste of my time.
Transmission went out at 90,000 miles.
Head gasket blew at 80,000 miles.
Head gasket is presently out at 132,000 miles.
Air conditioner is stuck on the window defrost setting. Seems to be an ongoing problem.
Currently experiencing yet another transmission fluid leak.
Timing belts replaced 3 times within the last year and a half.
At times, car will stick on heater setting and window locks have no power.
Car sputters and nearly dies at each intersection.
Spark Plugs changed 3 times in one year.
General comments?
This is the worst, most expensive car I have ever owned. I would never recommend this car to anyone! Not even my greatest enemy.
Car lacks power.
Cabin is roomy and seats are indeed comfortable.
This car is much more trouble than it's worth.
