I have a 97 Plymouth Breeze with close to 170k on it. It now leaks oil, and the motor knocks which are both common on any vehicle with such high mileage. I drive it 60 miles to school every day and never have a problem with it. It is a great car, and with the proper maintenance it will go forever. I account all of the other problems that people are having to poor maintenance.
We have a 1999 Breeze - 145,000 KM's - head gasket at 80,000K
- problem with gasket was unusual - leaked where coolant channel passes threw head gasket to upper part of cylinder head - rubber seal bonded to head gasket itself was distorted or compressed off center during torgue down at factory - hope new one doesn't do the same again - very strange - automatic transmission coolant lines to rad are leaking - hope this is the last problem - basically find it a very light duty car - have told my daughter to handle it with care - good luck everyone.
1997 Breeze; leaking oil like a sinking ship, not due to uncared for car. Junk, junk, junk.
