1997 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"Ready to buy a new one (too bad it was discontinued), nice body style!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator reservoir bubbling when engine off (hot) - head gasket 126,000.
Loosing oil at transmission - Rear seal 132,000.
A/C stopped working - Evaporation Coil.
General comments?
I purchased my Breeze off the show room floor and spent the next (5) years putting 889 miles a week on it. The car is an excellent ride and awesome on gas mileage. Though, at 126,000 I had to replace the "Head Gasket". The mechanic at the dealer said it was common for it to go out on both the Breeze and Neon (they share the same engine). I also had to have the head replaced. Also had to have the rear seal replaced. The car has truly been worth its weight in gold as of today it has 194,386 mile.I still put 530 mile a week on it and it still runs.
