About a week ago my car started leaking oil, I brought it into the mechanics and was told it was the head gasket, it should not be leaking oil, there must be a defect, there should be a recall because it looks like there is a lot more people with this problem, I want something done about this fast, because shouldn't have to pay a $1000 to get it fixed when it is daimler Chrysler fault.
Severe oil leak in my mom's 1998 Plymouth Breeze with less than 60,000 miles on it is causing me concern. This oil leak is caused by a bad head gasket. The oil is leaking all over the bottom of the car. I am concerned that the oil will get on the catalytic converter and cause a fire. I understand from conversations with several different mechanics and people in the automobile industry that this is a common problem with Chrysler engines. I have already contacted Chrysler about this problem and they have informed me that it's not their fault and there is nothing they can do about it. Other reputable car manufactures fix problems like this. Why isn't Chrysler being required to fix this problem before someone gets hurt???.

Around October or November 2002, at about 65,000 miles or 98 Plymouth Breeze started leaking oil, small spots or drops, then gradually more, took it in to get it checked, the mechanic looked for the origination of the oil leak and found it to be leaking from a head gasket and recommended we not drive our car only when necessary and very short trips, constantly check te oil level every day, and get reparied as soon as possible , could also be a fire hazard if oil builds up on engine from the leaking. He also metnioned he has seen alot of other Breezes, neons, stratus, voyagers, with the same engine as ours and the neons, and stratus with the same problem, and told us that the manufactuer stop using the gasket that was on the 98 models and replaced it it the new multi-layer steel head gasket because they knew it was defective back n 97-98 when they begin using it on the car made at that time. I guess it saved them a couple of bucks on the cars. I think there will be a class action lawsuit from what I have read on the internet about the neons, Breezes etc. I think a recall is in order. We stopped driving our car and have waited to have it repaired because it cost so much.
2. 0l engine was leaking oil, and lost power while driving. Vehicle taken to dealer who repaired a blown head gasket.
My head gasket is cracked and leaking oil. According to the Plymouth message board on the internet and many others, this is a very common problem. This needs to be addressed and remedied. Too many people are experiencing the same problem for this to be "accidental". There needs to be a recall. Thank you.

Oil leaking from head gasket, was discovered during inspection of shifter cable which wasnt installed properly after replacement due to a recall. The extended warranty had ran out the day before it was noticed, although it had apparently been leaking for awhile. Cruise control quit working, when you depress the button to turn it on, the light comes on but the speed cannot be set and after a few tries the light will go out and you cannot get it to come back on. A/c vents, there is a strange smell that smells like mildew or mold that comes from the vents when you turn on the air conditioner or heat, this has been adressed with a dealership and was taken care of but returned a few days later.

Began finding oil on the drive way. Took car to a firestone service center on 3-24-01 for a scheduled oil change and also asked to check on any possible oil leaks. Service center has determined that oil is leaking from the head gasket. The service center believes there may be a recall on this problem. I can not locate any recall notices but I find it very unsual to have oil leaking from the engine on a car with less that 22,000 miles.
