1999 Plymouth Breeze Expresso from North America - Comments

"SELL, SELL, SELL this car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Have replaced front driver side Hub Assembly shortly after buying it. I made the mistake of buying this p.o.s. at an auction and had already gone out of warranty. Tie rod ends on the front had to be replaced, brakes and rotors, several times, spark plugs and wires. Thermostat, radiator, top and bottom hoses blew and different times. A slow oil leak between the engine and transmission. Now, a blown head gasket that will cost another fortune to fix. Do not buy this car, whatever you do. It drives OK, but is to costly to own. I could have bought it brand new at a dealership for the money I've put into it in parts and labor. Not to mention tons of oil and antifreeze. All in a matter of less than 4 years. Who knows what the previous owner had to do to it.

General comments?

Don't buy this car.

Save yourself now if your still lucky enough to not have any problems. Sell!

Maybe the previous owner did absolutely nothing too it and that's the problem... just a thought.

Our '99 Breeze has 147,000 miles on it and runs perfect. It has had no major problems. It was used as a rental up until the 122,000 mile mark (believe it or not) and rental cars don't have an easy life. I think you just got a lemon.

My Breeze was 5 years old when I purchased it. It was originally used in Texas, but was shipped to the UK with just 22000 miles on the clock. It drives like a dream and is one of the best cars i have had. I also own a 94 Camaro, which is quick and gets plenty of looks, but I always prefer to drive the Plymouth.

I just bought a `98 Breeze and it is financed at a hefty price. Actual cost was $4,300.00. The Warranty is about $1,300.00.

In less than two months, the passenger rear brakes had to be completely overhauled; main oil gasket had to be replaced; front-end wheel alignment was way off; gas mileage poor (needed a serious tuneup). Because it is fully warranted though, no cost to me, but the off road time hurt.

Also, the ALB light and Engine light remain on, although I was assured that there is nothing wrong with either.

This was owned by only one person prior to me buying it. No former service record available. OK car; looks nice with no rust; the interior is in nice shape.

Piece of crap. Had for a year, needed tie rod ends, head gasket, brakes, rotors, cam sensor, shocks, gas tank filler tube rotted out, and today I can't turn the wheel at all. I would rather drive a wheel barrel.
