1997 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"I think this car was built very poorly, shame on the Daimler/Chrysler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the fuel pump.
I have to replace to brakes twice a year.
I have replaced the spark plugs so many times I can't remember.
The head gasket leaks oil, which I think that why I am replaced the sparks plugs so often, because usually one or more sparks plug is covered in oil.
I've also replaced two outer tie rod ends.
Timing belt and tensioner pulling broke off resulting in bent valves.
General comments?
You put more money into this car than what it is worth.
I do have to say that the car does handle very well.
The brakes are very spongy.
There is also a vibration in the steering wheel, but no one know why.
I also received a recall for this car on the parking interlock or something like that. Basically, the car can be moved out of park without having the key turned on. Which it is not supposed to do that.
