Used 1999 Plymouth Breeze Consumer Reviews
I Made a Mistake!
Ok, so when I bought this car, I was excited to buy my own car! It only had 60,000 miles on it which seemed great! And I paid only $3,000 for it, at least that's what I thought I was paying for it. Well I've had it for not quite 3 years and I have put over $5,000 more in to it! Every thing has blew on it! from the head, & head gasket twice, the radiator, multiple oil seals, break lines (while I was driving), rear defrost, A/C, trunk and hood poppers (both), I'm sure I'm forgetting things. Anyways, this is not a good car! I would not recommend it to anyone! I have had such a bad experience with this car.
OK.
It's an OK vehicle. Bought it five years ago and did well until about a year ago. The interior is very cheap looking ( and put together) along with the center console. Brakes (third set), tierods, water pump, and the AC unit have all crapped in the past year. Very noisy engine but great gas MPG. Not very accommodating for a big person. This is like all Detroit-made sedans, great off the assembly line but not good resold.
Nice car for the money
Bought this car with 112,000 on it looked to be well taken care of. I now have 150K, and have not done a thing to it. It has been a real reliable car. The timing belt broke and the great thing is it didn't reunion the engine like happens on a lot of the fours. The cruise control quit working but somethings are expected after 11 years and 150K other than that has been a great car. I use this site all the time so I thought I would add my 2 cents worth.
Love My Breeze
I must admit, my Breeze is my favorite car so far, (I have owned 12 vehicles during my 28 years of driving). I have owned it for over 8 years, currently have over 170,000 miles on it, and expect it to keep going. It is reliable and I still get 27 - 30 mpg every fill up. The only major repair was the timing belt. I keep it well maintained.
Good starter car
Owned a Breeze before this one, but started to cross an intersection when a teenager on her cell phone ran the light and I rammed her Dodge Intrepid in the side. The Breeze took it very well. But the intrepid looked like it could've done better. So I bought another and it is just as nice as the first. It has been completely rebuilt on the exterior because some truck stopped, and I rear ended him and then I got rear ended. And since then, the car still drives perfect and gets 28 mpg! It's a peppy car and is very safe to drive. And also cheap to insure. Great car for your kids or for a cheap starter car.
Whatch Out
This car has more problems than assets. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR USED. Chrysler will tell you to pound mud the first time you have a problem. The engines design is flawed. Both Engines have faulty Head Gaskets and are suseptable to cracking the block, head or exhast manifold. Used engines are not available and remanufactured engines from Chrysler cost more than the car is worth. There is a class action law suite out there for consuemers who purchased these cars new. My advise is to take your cars back to the dealership you purchased it from and demand your money back Now! They don't seam to care if you experience problems later.
ok car
I like this car. I have the 2.4L and it has more then enough power and has given me no problems- it now has 60000 miles on it. I have taken good care of it and in return, it has not ever let me down. For a small car it has alot of room for a fat guy like myself!
Not Bad
About to eclipse 100 thousand miles, oil leaks and brakes only things had to be done, could be more comfortable
Terrible, first car nightmare
My mom bought a car for my sister and I for our first car. she ended up giving me this piece of crap because it's racking up the repairs. I can't rely on it to be good for a couple months without a major repair and I don't do anything other than drive to work everyday.Having no heat every freaking winter in Minnesota sucks terribly, head gaskets, radiators, etc always goes out annually.AC also went out, blowers went out, trunk latch stopped working randomly, brakes squeak even after being in shop, horn had to be unplugged because it goes off when I hit the gas, can't replace without doing whole steering column.Very hard to merge in fast traffic with this engine.Piece of crap
'98 Plymouth Breeze
I bought my '98 Breeze from Government auction six years ago. Other than having to repair the leaking head gasket, which the government paid for, it has been a great reliable American car!
