Front Suspension Problems of Plymouth Breeze

Noise in the front was reported to dealer on April 27, 2000. Car was put up on rack, but no defect was found by mechanic at that time. While turning onto main road from side road, tie rod broke. Repairing mechanic ( not dealer) noted excessive wear of tie rods, for mileage on vehicle, and replaced both sides. Had I been up to speed I could have been involved in a serious accident. Dealer of vehicle supposedly did a safety check before we took delivery.

Front end noise when going over minor bumps. Told many times that it was just my struts and it was normal. Now have been told the real problems after warranty expired at a cost to me.

Noticed leakage of oil under car chassis. Dealer diagnosed leaking head gasket and cam sensor seal. Dealer reports working on same problem reported by other neon and Breeze owners. Previous problem with excessive creaking in front suspension with any jarring of suspension system.

When driving at any speed there is vibration within the steering. Also, when applying brakes, they go halfway to the floorboard, and crack in half from overheating. In addition, driver's side door is getting rusty.

There is vibration at idle seat through steering wheel, the dealer has test driven the vehicle and confirmed the vibration. At this time there is nothing the dealer can do to repair the problem.

Head gasket leaks. Dealer reports that the gasket is defective. Same for neon, Breeze, stratus, etc. All must be replaced. Should be recalled. Refunds should be made. Also, steering wheel shakes and makes noise when turning right. Nothing done yet.

While driving at any speed there was vibration. Also, vehicle lurched forward, resulting, in a crash. Deaelr could not determine cause. Vibration occurs both on driving and while stopped.

There is excessive vibration in the steering wheel. Dealer cannot repair. In addition, there is a forward lunging when slowing to a stop/replaced broken motor mount/broken alternator bolt/sensor for idle/rack and pinion steering/head gasket/exhaust leak due to loose bolts and broken power steering cap.

This vehicle has been nothing but problems since day one. Currently I'm looking at replacing the whole rack in the front end of the vehicle!!my car is 5 years old has been maintained properly and is my family sedan. I am a 33 year old mother and have never done anything to abuse or neglect this vehicle. It leaks oil,the door seals don't line up properly on the back doors and it just seems like it won't last the term of my loan I took out to buy this vehicle in the first place. I am so disgusted with Chrysler manufacturing such a lemon and turning around and selling it to hapless victims. Preying on families that can barely afford there vehicles. When that salesman looked into my 18 month old daughters eyes at the time did it even matter to him that he might be putting her life in danger by selling her parents a poorly designed and built car?obviously not. Unfortunately for people like myself I cannot afford to take them to court for selling me this lemon and needing to work every day to get by I needed this vehicle. I have to drive it every day. It's a shame that Chrysler has ruined another american families opinion on american made vehicles because I will never buy american for vehicles again. Thank you for your time.

The paint peels off , it has been painted several times . The steering wheel shakes when you stop,it vibrates and is very noisy. Also, brakes squeal in the front, they have been replaced, but the problem is still there.
