Head gasket was leaking on my 97' Plymouth Breeze. I know 6 people personally that have the same engine and had the same problem. They have Breezes, neons, stratuses and all the 4 cylinders headgasket leak. Chrysler needs to do something about this problem in my opinion. Thanks.

We hav ehad numerous problems with our vehicle. We have had starters, transmission modules, fuel pumps, head gaskets, and a leak detection pump replaced so far. All Chrysler can say about this is that your out of luck. The dealership threatened to use force to beat me up (pat terhar teh GM at the dealership) all I want is Chrysler to take responsibility for the number of problems I have had, instead they keep changing me hundreds of dollars for repairs. My understanding is that there are numerous cars with similar problems as I have had. Please investigate. I am running out of steam. Thanks!)( dot number: )

On 1/5/00 I arrived home and after getting out of car heard hissing noise and popped the hood and then relized that the car was leaking oil all over the driveway. Took car to a texaco station and they stated that I had a cracked gasket and would fix for an estimated cost of $534.80 (frontier Chevy dealer estimated $600, was not boing to bother with the people I bought the car from since they are 1 hour away and am very dissatisfied with there servie). According to lemon-aid updates on website lemonaidcars.com/home.htm under the novemer 1999 section section 2 states that service bulliton number 09-05-98, they have know about this problem for past 16 months. Additionally per ODI id 704054 someone else has had the exact same problem. How can I go about trying to have them pay for the new gaskets and manhours that I had to pay for becuase of there poor product. Could I sue them in small claims court?

Major oil leak from head gasket, dealer says common problem and wants $579 to repair. Found this is a common problem and Chrysler is paying 1/2 cost through some dealers. This should be a recall item!

The lobes on the engine camshaft are prematurely wearing, resulting in loss of power. Cause of the excessive wear is due to the improper size of the cams during installation..et
