What owners report
1996 PLYMOUTH BREEZE HAD SOMETHING BREAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CAUGHT FIRE AFTER COMING TO A REST ON THE SHOULDER. *KB THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS UNDETERMINED. (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT)*JB
I WAS COMING HOME ONE EVENING FROM TOWN, AND MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD AND NEVER ONCE SLOWED ME DOWN AND I CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A PRETTY BAD WRECK AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JB
THE PLASTIC ADJUSTMENTS ON THE SEAT BELTS HAVE FALLEN OFF 2 OF THE SEAT BELTS, THEREFORE, I ASSUME, THEY ARE NO LONGER SAFE TO USE. *NM
APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO, AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN, I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE PROBLEM WOULD DISAPPEAR AFTER BACKING UP. AND WAS NOT ALWAYS CONSISTENT. I BROUGHT IT INTO MY GARAGE WHO CHECKED THE BELTS AND FLUID. THEY REPORTED EVERYTHING WAS FINE. YESTERDAY (2/22) LEAVING WORK I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT INTO THE EXIT LANE, AND LOST ALL STEERING ABILITY. ANOTHER EMPLOYEE STOPPED TO SEE IF I NEEDED HELP. WHEN I TOLD HIM I LOST THE STEERING AGAIN AND ASKED IF HE COULD LOOK. WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUT, FROM HIS HEIGHT HE COULD SEE SOMETHING STICKING OUT UNDERNEATH THE CLUTCH AREA. HE REACHED DOWN AND SAW THAT A CHUNK OF THE CLOTH
OIL NOTICED ON GROUND UNDER VEHICLE. MECHANIC SAYS HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING OIL OUT OF ENGINE. HEAD GASKET FAILURE IS CAUSING OIL TO BE LEAKED ONTO GROUND WHICH CAUSES ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE TO OUR ENVIRONMENT PER EPA. THIS WEB SITE DOCUMENTS THIS AS A TREND FOR THIS PLATFORM OF PLYMOUTH VEHICLE. THERE MUST BE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF PETROLEUM OIL BEING SPILLED INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT BY THESE VEHICLES, MAYBE MORE. THESE VEHICLES ARE INJURING US ALL AND SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED UNLESS PROPERLY AND PERMANENTLY FIXED. *NM
