Head gasket on my 1998 Plymouth Breeze. Nearly every consumer report I have read has shown that this is a consistent problem with anyone who has onwed this this car yet there is no recall. Why?.
Head gasket is cracked. Dealer notified.
I own a 1998 Plymouth Breeze. My head gasket is bad, and everyone: the local dealer repair shop and independent mechanics all say that it was a bad design in the gasket metal type. They have seen many of these come through their shops, and none are caused by owner neglect. If it is a deign error, why do I have to pay $600 to get it fixed? should design design problems be covered under a recall?.
Been driving for 53 years and this is the first head gasket I ever had that failed. All service people I talk to recognize this as a prevalent breese/neon problem. Nhtsa searches show 1996 1988 Dodge neon failures, 39 Plymouth neon failures & 20 Plymouth Breeze failures. I can't believe the mfg. Hasn't taken any action. Have they? cost = $800!!!!!.
