| I purchased my 1996 plymouth breeze in april of 1998 with 33,000 miles on it and it currently has 115,000 miles on it. the initial signs of problems begin at 50,000 miles with an oil leak no one could seem to fix (not even the dealership). within a span of 82, 000 miles: i have had to replace the head gasket twice at 54,000 and 113,000 ($1000), i have had two major tune-ups at 60,000 and 92,000 miles ($500), i have had all sensors replaced at 101,000 miles ($1500), i have had three major brake jobs within 18 months ($1800), i had to replace the radiator ($250), i had to have the catalytic converter replaced at 75,000 miles ($350), i had to have a new transmission at 95,000 miles ($1500), ive had numerous repairs based on the readouts from the computer ($600+), replaced the oil pan gasket but it still leaks ($150) the window seals leak when it rains (never tried to fix) (this car sat in my driveway almost all of 2002 because i could not afford the repairs) after all of my futile attempts to keep my transportation operable, its currently sitting in my driveway with the following problems: it cuts off while driving, the engine revs up and down when idle, there is a severe oil leak that no one can seem to fix, the engine light stays on no matter what repairs are done, the factory radio, the speedometer, and the mileage gauge, no longer work. there is absolutely no pickup when driving up hills, when you turn the ac on there is an unbearable horrible rattling noise and the car loses an obscene amount of power and feels as though its going to cut off, theres a scowling noise when you turn the steering wheel left to right it takes 15 minutes in order for the heater to blow out warm air. and i still owe $6,000 on this vehicle. *jb | |||

| When car is placed in park, the key will stick in the ignition. motor turns off, but inside functions stay on (mileage lights, radio/clock) and key will not turn all the way to take it out. after trying over and over, something will give in the ignition, and the key will finally come out. also, when you lock the doors, sometimes the power lock motor will make a groaning-whining noise, and not all of the doors will lock. these problems have been going on since shortly after purchase.*ak | |||
