1999 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"Overall, it has been a much better vehicle than I have owned in the past"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had made three payments on the car when the head gasket began to leak severley, when I took it in to get repaired, I was told that it was nothing major, then a few days later there was a huge spot of oil on the ground I had it towed back to the repair shop and over $1,000 is what it cost to repair the head gasket at 40,000 miles. Then I was told that if I didn't go ahead and replace the timing belt that I would have more problems in the near future, so that was an additional $200 for the part.
Both "Door Checks" broke on the front doors and those had to be replaced which was $85.
Dash lights continue to burn out and they are a bummer to replace, but have figured out how to do that myself.
The bolt that holds the rod in the driver's door has backed its way out of the door on several occasions; therefore, the dealer has put lock-tight on them, but no one took the time to find out why the thing continued to do it.
General comments?
Out of all the vehicles I have owned, this one is definitely better. The only other thing that is a bother, is when it is very cold outside the defrost has to be on high and only on defrost in order to be able to see out the rear windows of the car.
